  • Senior section

  • What does the Senior Section do?

  • In the Senior Section, young women participate in a fun and flexible programme known as Look Wider. The programme is also linked to a variety of recognised qualifications or awards, both within and outside guiding. The opportunities and challenges which guiding offers can be followed by a group or by individual members and are designed to be particularly beneficial to girls getting ready to embark on a career.

  • What to know?

  • The Look Wider Programme is based around eight programme areas known as Octants:
  • Creativity
  • Fit for Life
  • Community Action
  • Out-of-doors
  • International
  • Independent Living
  • Personal Values
  • Leadership.
  • A young woman may belong to the Senior Section from her 14th to her 26th birthday. The Senior Section includes:
  • Ranger Guides, both members of Ranger Guide Units and Lone Ranger Guides
  • Young Leaders (including Lone Young Leaders)
  • Young Leaders, Advisers and Commissioners who choose to participate in the section programme
  • Junior Council members
  • Members of Student Scout and Guide Clubs
  • British Youth Council delegation members
