Leaders
If you're over 17 years, there are a variety of opportunities to work as a unit leader, an administrator or supporting in areas that are of special interest to you. Even if you've never thought of yourself a serious 'outdoorsy' person, we can still offer you plenty of interesting opportunities to make a worthwhile contribution.

Guiding provides a welcome opportunity to meet, mix and socialise with other women from all walks of life.
Rangers
Rangers are aged bewteen 13½ and 19. Rangers are expected to accept more responsibility than guides; they get to plan their own programme and they share leadership and decision making with adult leaders
Who can be a ranger? you can - just as long as your over 13½ (or you're in year 9) and haven't turned 19 yet. Even if you haven't belonged to Guides NZ before as a pippin, brownie, or guide - no problem there is still a place for you at rangers.
Guides
Guides range in age from about 10 to somewhere bewteen 13½ and 14½. Their units are divided into patrols and they elect their own patrol leaders.
Brownies
Brownies are aged from seven to between 9½ or 10½. Brownie units are organised into groups called sixes, with older girls being the sixer (leader) and seconder (assistant leader) in each six.
Pippins
Pippins start at the age of five, and are our youngest members. Their groups have an unstructured programme. You'll find their families are encouraged to be involved in the things that they do.

N.B. If you want to join either pippins, brownies, guides or want to become a leader, then fax Raewyn on 03-686-2343 or contact the webmaster, who will forward your message.

If you want to join a ranger unit, either contact Raewyn or view ranger unit page for all ranger units in South Canterbury.
