Rangers (14-18)
What our 14-18-year-olds do, wear and the badges they earn
Rangers is your space – where you get together with other girls from 14 to 18 to have fun, learn more, give back, hang out, and just be you.
Rangers is an open and relaxed space, where you can regularly meet up with good friends, go on trips at home and abroad, to help make a difference to the things you care about. It’s the freedom to be more independent, earn qualifications, badges, awards and to do what makes you happy.
Rangers is what you make of it.
What do girls do in Rangers?
We’ll let them tell you! Check out what other girls have to say about being in Rangers.
Rangers follow our programme. In unit meetings (local groups where you'll meet other Rangers) you’ll get to have fun, flexible and new experiences, all while being supported by our trained volunteers.
The best thing about Rangers is spending time with other people and feeling closer. It's a close knit group of good friends and you get to spend time with them.
You could get skills builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. And if you want to take guiding home, there’s lots of interest badges to do in between unit meetings, like the protesting badge, animation badge and travel badge.

What Rangers wear
We encourage members to wear a uniform to show they’re part of the Girlguiding family - you can wear a Ranger top.
Badges can be attached to your uniform – the promise badge, which you’ll get after making your Ranger promise, should be worn on the left hand side, or can be worn on a badge tab, and every other badge can be attached where you choose.
Buy uniform and more from our online shop.
