Who are the Rangers?

Rangers are aged 14- 19 years old. Ranger meetings are much more flexible and quite often they only meet once or twice a month. They run their own meetings and the Guider is only an observer. Rangers can then go on to become Guiders.

A Ranger Company may be set up in any Parish / Unit / with a Guider, for girls aged 14 years or over. To be a Ranger Guide it is not necessary to have been a Guide but you should be willing to accept the Ranger Guide Promise. Girls aged 14 years and over who are in a Guide Company may take part in certain activities for the Ranger Guide Section.

What is the Ranger Programme?

The Guide programme is called "Get With It" and is based on choices which are made by the Ranger. The programme consists of modules in each of the following elements:

Creativity
Health
Out of Doors
International
Communications
Environment
Special Projects

The Ranger Promise:
 

On My Honour With the help of God [insert name]Promise to do my best o serve God and His Church, to help other people at all times and to keep the Guide Law. I further promise as a Ranger Guide to be of service within the community.

The Promise is taken by Guides and Guiders and is central to Guiding. In making the promise one acknowledges the fundamental principles of Guiding and in so doing becomes a committed member of the worldwide movement. Guiding personnel the world over make a similar Promise which unites them by a three part commitment to the same values and objectives:

• The determination to seek spiritual fulfilment
• The agreement to contribute to society
• The acceptance of a simple code: the Guide Law

The Cygnet, Brigin, Guide & Ranger Guide Promises are derived from the original Guiding PRINCIPLES presented to Guiders by the founder, Baden Powell, in 1907:

• To do my Duty to God & my country
• To help other people at all times
• To obey the Guide Law

The Guide Law:

A Guide can be TRUSTED
A Guide is LOYAL
A Guide is HELPFUL
A Guide is FRIENDLY
A Guide is POLITE AND CONSIDERATE
A Guide is KIND to everyone and respects all living things
A Guide is OBEDIENT
A Guide is CHEERFUL
A Guide has COURAGE - she is never afraid to do the right thing
A Guide is TIDY.
She takes care of her belongings and those of other people
A Guide is SELF-CONTROLLED in thought, word and deed
A GUIDE DOES ALL THINGS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

The GUIDE LAW represents guidelines for a way of life; it sets a standard which every guide strives to her best to meet. The Guide Law and the Promise are at the heart of Guiding.

The Guide Principles

1. A Guide glories in her Holy Faith and is true to it all her life
2. A Guide loves her country
3. The duty of a Guide begins in her home
