Members of the Senior Section will wear a uniform which is appropriate for the group they belong to and will also make a Promise and wear a Promise badge to link them with Guiding.

Meetings and activities will depend on the type of group to which the young woman belongs. Generally, however, their programme will be flexible and will be driven by the young women themselves, with Guiders helping to facilitate activities.

Young leaders are young women aged 14+ - 18 who have decided they want to help run a Rainbow, Brownie or Guide unit.

Whilst they are helping with the unit, they can work towards their Basic Leadership Qualification between 14 – 16 or, from 16 – 18, the Guide Association Leadership Scheme. Through each of these training schemes, the young woman will be helped to achieve her potential, especially as a leader, and to learn the skills of leadership in a Guiding context. They will therefore not only gain practical and useful experience of working with groups of girls (useful if they want to take a childcare or teaching qualification later on) but they will also have the opportunity to receive formal training in a range of subjects from First aid to working with difficult youngsters.
