Senior Section

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.

• 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.

  + Ranger Guides, both members of Ranger Guide Units and Lone Ranger Guides
  +Young Leaders (including Lone Young Leaders)

  + Junior Council members 
  + Members of Student Scout and Guide Clubs
