GIRL GUIDES in the Western Cape
Rangers are our teen girls - aged between 14 and 18.
They are given more freedom to find their interests and passions while still continuing their skills learning.
I promise to do my best
To do my duty
To my God and to my country
To help other people
And to keep the Guide law
Render service by taking the Promise out into the wider world and by being aware of my responsibilities as a young adult.
Look wide

Rangers wear a scarf when they are enrolled, to be worn with their full uniform. The scarf has 3 badges on it - the SA Flag badge, their Region badge and their unit badge.
A simple, short sleeved school shirt will become the girls' Ranger shirt. On the shirt is where all earned badges will go.
Navy pants or a navy skirt can be worn with the white shirt and scarf.
The uniform is complete with smart black shoes.
As with all of our programmes, the girls are taught vital life skills in a fun and engaging way.
Once they have proved competent in these skills, they are rewarded with badges!
There are 8 main adventure badges, made up of a number of different clauses that the girls must complete.
The badges are each centered around a specific topic and skill.
Rangers are guided into their own natural leadership abilities. The girls are taught how to be good leaders and how to respect authority.
Rangers are taught & encouraged to take part in community service projects, as well taking action on important issues surrounding them.
Rangers go even further into their place in the movement. As well as how we came to be and the origin of our traditions and customs and what Guiding futures look like.
Rangers are given essential outdoor skills, as well as water-related skills. They will go on more camps, hikes and take part in more boating.
Rangers gain useful first aid experience, learning how to treat basic medical emergencies and how to deal with emergency situations.
Rangers are guided on ways to keep their bodies and minds healthy. They are also equipped with skills to help their peers do the same.
Rangers learn vital computer skills, as well as how to use other technology, such as cameras etc., to express themselves creatively.
Rangers get involved in keeping the earth clean and litter-free. They learn about recycling, conservation, and how to live a greener life.
