Brownies
Girls can be Brownies from age 7 to 10 ½. Brownies work together in groups called "Sixes", take part in choosing what activities they want to do and learn new things while having fun.

Guides
Guides covers girls aged 9 ½ to 14 ½. Guides often take part in camps and other adventurous outdoor activities. By working together in patrols of five or six girls with one girl in charge they learn about teamwork and develop leadership skills.

Rangers
Girls can start Rangers when they are 13 ½ or in Year 9 at school.
Rangers run their own activities and have a very varied programme to choose from, allowing them to challenge themselves on many different fronts. Many Rangers work towards the Queen's Guide and Duke of Edinburgh Awards, others are more focused on the fun and friendships open to them.
