Girlguiding announces new badges in largest-ever revamp
The charity's new programme includes badges for inventing and human rights.
Girlguiding has undergone the largest overhaul in the charity's history, revamping its badges and activities.
Around 50,000 girls were involved in the process to create more than 800 new badges and activities.
The new programme is designed to equip girls with the skills and experiences they will need to thrive in the modern world.
They can work towards interest badges such as entrepreneur, inventing, navigator, craftivisim and human rights.
Thousands of girls and young women tested the new activities over the last 18 months.
They have had a say in the colours, names and content of the new badges at the 100-year-old organisation.
Jess Bond, lead volunteer for programme, said: "This is a hugely exciting time for Girlguiding - it's revolutionary.
"We've really listened to what girls have told us they'd like to see and incorporated their suggestions, creating new badges and activities and updating others so they're relevant now and in the future.
"We've always moved with the times and we hope to welcome even more members to Girlguiding in Scotland with this diverse range of activities as there really is something for every girl.
"Our ambition is to give girls the opportunity to discover and develop their interests, skills and confidence, take on new challenges and have fun and adventure with their friends.
"We want girls to feel equipped to take on the world."
Katrina Lambert, 17, a young leader with her local Rainbow unit in Edinburgh, said: "As a young leader I'm really proud that I have the chance to inspire and empower other girls at the very start of their Girlguiding journey.
"I can see so clearly the positive impact that Girlguiding can have, watching the girls grow in confidence and gain new skills.
"It's also great to see girls making friends and having loads of fun along the way. My Rainbows are so amazing and they inspire me every time I see them!
"That's why I'm so excited to be a part of the new programme.
"Girls and volunteers from all over the UK have been a part of shaping and testing the new badges and activities and I know my Rainbows can't wait to get stuck in and try something new."
