Who is a Ranger Guide?
A Ranger or a Ranger Guide is a girl who belongs to a Ranger Branch which is one of the branches of Kenya Girl Guides Association. This branch comprises of girls between 14-18 years, rather in secondary schools.
Ranger is all about leadership and community involvement and a flexible program that allows teens to create their own unique Guiding experience. Young women begin to explore career options and learn valuable skills such as budgeting and event planning. Rangers are also involved in active leadership opportunities like global development projects, eco-awareness initiatives and teaching skills to younger girls as Girl Assistants.
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.
