Rangers - KaitiakiYoung women in Rangers carry out their programmes based on different areas of experience, contribution to their all round development. Some Rangers choose to undertake a lesser part in the group programme, and a more active role working in leadership with younger girls in other units. As a Ranger, you will be aged from 13 up to 18, at secondary school and you’re part of the valued senior section of GirlGuiding New Zealand. What do Rangers do?Flexibility and choice are very much a part of the Ranger Programme. Young women are challenged to explore new experiences and take responsibility for their own planning. Taking an active part in their communities is strongly encouraged. The Ranger programme is divided into these areas:
allenges, there is the opportunity to undertake The Young New Zealander’s Challenge of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or the Queen’s Guide Award. Or you may choose simply to enjoy yourself, meet new people and have fun! What do Rangers wear?Rangers have a whole range of uniform items to wear, including a navy blue v neck T shirt and a red ranger scarf and badge tab. These can be purchased online through our Guide Shop. Rangers – for those who live in isolated areasGirls who because of distance, study or choice can’t go to units in their area are still able to do our programmes. We call these girls Lones, [Lone Rangers]. The activities are the same but adapted to use other forms of communication, email, mail, internet, etc. Lones are encouraged to join in other activities with girls in their area when they can. Lones can meet at holidays and camps during the year and also attend activities and special events. Sometimes they are invited to join specials days and camps run by other units. Ranger speak!
“I love being part of an organization that unites so many different people from different backgrounds.” “I have gained many skills and my confidence has grown enormously.” “I really enjoyed my time on J’08 (Jamboree) and would not change or trade it for anything, as it is the most fun I have had in ages.” “I have done loads of camps with Guiding, but by far the best of them have been with Rangers. Going to Opotiki just for a random camp was awesome. At the camp we ended up paddock bashing and finding wild kiwi fruit.” "I have done awesome activities that I couldn't have done if I hadn't been in Guiding" "I love meeting new people and trying things i never thought I could do." “I love the friendships and the outdoor activities”  Document Actions |
