Rangers (14-18)
What our 14-18-year-olds do, wear and the badges they earn
Rangers is your space – where you get together with other girls from 14 to 18 to have fun, learn more, give back, hang out, and just be you.
Rangers is where you can regularly meet up with good friends, go on trips at home and abroad, and help make a difference to the things you care about - it's what you make of it.
What do girls do in Rangers?
We’ll let them tell you! Check out what other girls have to say about being in Rangers.
Rangers follow our programme. In unit meetings (local groups where you'll meet other Rangers) you’ll get to have fun, flexible and new experiences, all while being supported by our trained volunteers.
The best thing about Rangers is spending time with other people and feeling closer. It's a close knit group of good friends and you get to spend time with them.
You could get skills builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. And if you want to take guiding home, there’s lots of interest badges to do in between unit meetings, like the protesting badge, animation badge and travel badge.

What Rangers wear
Most of our members choose to wear uniform because it helps them feel part of the guiding family. Rangers can mix and match from a range of practical and stylish tops, bottoms and accessories. Guides, Rangers, young leaders and volunteers can also wear items from our shared uniform range.
Girls can style their uniform with their own clothes, and accessorise however they like. All you really need is a uniform top. The t-shirt is the lowest priced option, comfy for all activities, and girls can wear it with their own bottoms and still be in uniform.
Girls can also choose how to display their badges, whether on their uniform or elsewhere. It’s her style, her choice!
Buy Rangers uniform and more from our online shop.
