Challenges

Looking for something to do, fancy a new challenge then please check out what we have on offer locally.

Part of being a member of guiding is undertaking challenges, doing something for the first time, developing a skill to the next level or doing something different with a group of like-minded people. Personal challenges can be under taken by individuals or small groups by following the relevant section program and completing interest and challenge badges.

For members of the Guide section there is the Baden-Powell Challenge Award. For members of the senior section there is the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme and the Queens Guide award.

There are also a number of local challenges you could complete such as the Jubilee House Challenge.
