Senior Branches Lougheed Area

February 2008
 

SENIOR BRANCHES BECOME RANGERS!

In September 2008, Senior Branches will officially change their name to Rangers, and a new program will be introduced. 

 Girls wanted a more flexible program with more program ideas. Therefore, the new program was developed as a single program in which a girl can participate either as a Ranger or a Junior Leader (Cadets and Junior Leaders will be combined).    

The new name – Rangers – dates back to 1920 when Lady Baden Powell suggested the name for Senior Guides.  After consulting with Senior Branches girls and Guiders across Canada, it was decided that, over 80 years later, the meaning of Ranger still holds true and offers girl Members 15-17+ the chance to try new things, meet new people, do good work, travel to new places and widen their perspective.                         

More information about the new Ranger program will be shared over the coming months.  Watch for stories in the Spring 2008 issue of Canadian Guider and upcoming issues of Guider e-News.

 2008 CHIEF COMMISSIONER’S GOLD AWARD CEREMONY:

Reminder:  Girls who have completed the requirements of the Chief Commissioner’s Gold Award by December 31, 2007, will be eligible to attend the ceremony in May 2008 in Victoria BC.  You need to give the names of those girls to Laura Nicolai immediately so they are not left off of the invitation list.
