Look Wider
The Look Wider programme offers a range of activities and challenges and motivates members to try out new things – it could be
learning a language, playing a musical instrument, running a marathon, camping in the wilds or volunteering overseas. It is flexible
and participants can take their chosen activities as far as they wish, from taster level all the way to gaining a qualification
that is recognised outside guiding.
Look Wider is a programme that has been designed exclusively for members of The Senior Section. The programme contains eight
octants, which aim to encourage young women to develop new skills and improve existing ones:
The Promise
I promise that I will do my best,
to be true to myself and develop my beliefs,
to serve the Queen and my community,
to help other people and to keep the Guide Law
- Creativity
- Fit for Life
- Community Action
- Out of Doors
- International
- Independent Living
- Personal Values
- Leadership
Octants can be completed in any order and young women can do activities towards more than one octant at the same time, as individuals
or part of a group.
