What do Senior Section do?

During her time in the Senior Section, a young woman participates in a programme known as Look Wider, which is based on the principles and methods of guiding. It is designed to appeal to all young women and offers fun and flexibility to suit the individual.

The programme is also linked to a variety of recognised qualifications or awards, both within and outside guiding. The opportunities and challenges which it offers can be followed by a group or by individual members. The choice is made by the members themselves.

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

The Senior Section Promise

The Senior Section has the same Promise as the Guide Section.

and
To keep the Guide Law.
