Senior Section

Senior Section covers a wide age range and many different Guiding roles - as long as you are between 14 and 25 and are involved in Guiding in some way than you are a member of the Senior Section.

Here are a few of the ways to be a Senior Section member

• Ranger
• Young Leader (aged 14-18)
• Guider or Unit Helper (aged 18+)
• In4mer (Peer Educator)
• Member of a Student Scout and Guide Group [SSAGO]

There are many different activity programmes a member of the Senior Section can work on including

• Look Wider & the Chief Guide's Challenge

• Senior Section Permit
• Commonwealth Award                               
• Young Leader Qualification (YLQ)
• Adult Leader Qualification (ALQ)
• Queen's Guide Award
• Duke of Edinburgh Award

In addition to that, there are an ever-increasing number of opportunities for young women in Guiding, including:

• GOLD (Guiding Overseas Linked Development)
• Innovate
• BYC
• 4
• Centenary Working Groups

London South East County has a growing Senior Section in terms of numbers of members and of units. We currently have 5 registered units and 3 further units starting up; plus the number of Guiders who are under 25 is also increasing. This is great news as the future of Guiding depends on keeping young women involved and interested at all levels.

As a County, Senior Section members have participated in a number of activities including:

• Indoor Rock Climbing and Abseiling
• Trip to Cadbury World in Bourneville
• Guiding Star (BIG GIG's X-factor-style competition)
• Helping to run County camp for 50 Guides!
• Innovate
• International Selection weekends
• And much MUCH more with their units.

Although Senior Section covers a wide age group there is lots of opportunities to suit everyone and lots of fun to be had while doing it! So if you're 14-25 and want to be involved contact:  http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/join/.
