The Queen's Guide Award is the top award available in Guiding, and is open to all Senior Section members aged 16-26. It has to be completed within 3 years of your start date, and you choose a mentor and supporters to help you with your challenges. The award includes Service in Guiding, a Residential Experience, an Outdoor Challenge (expedition or exploration), development of a Personal Skill and Community Action. You will find that a number of the challenges can combine nicely with the DofE Gold Award.

There are some links to the Girlguiding UK website for some of what you might need. If you have any questions, feel free to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , the County Queen’s Guide Adviser.
