You can find out more information about all of these and other opportunities available to the Senior Section on the Senior Section web site.

The Senior Section Programme

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
• Independant Living
• Personal Values
• Leadership

Promise, Badges, Law and Motto

The Senior Section has the same Law, Promise and Motto as the Guide Section. There is also a further commitment: to be of service to the community.

In their own time, with people of their choice, Senior Section members make a Promise. Members wear a Promise badge appropriate to the goup to which they belong. (When a young woman belongs to two different groups, she may wear either badge as appropriate).

Uniform

Members wear a uniform appropriate to the group to which they belong, or wear clothing suitable for the activity in which they are participating.
