Girl Guide Challenges

Challenges add to the fun and interest of Guiding.

Challenges involve:

- finding out more about something

- discovering a better way to do something

- having a go at something which is not easy

- trying to improve and add to your skills.

Being a Guide gives girls lots of opportunities to challenge themselves and earn awards and badges. A few of the Challenges are described here.

'Explore a Challenge' offers topics in:

Our World	Arts
Guiding World	Be Prepared
Outdoors	Health and Fitness
Friendship	Science and Technology
Faith Awareness	Life Skills

Details of these Challenges are in the Guide booklet 'Look Wide', available from the Guide Shop at Guide House.

Peak Achievement Awards

Details of these awards are in the Guide booklet 'Aim High'. For those Girl Guides 18 and under looking for extra challenges, the Junior B-P,

B-P and Queen’s Guide Awards are available. Guides can talk with their Leaders to learn more about taking on these Challenges.

Party Plan

A bunch of balloon badges can be earned by introducing a friend to Guides. For every new person who joins Guides through your recommendation, you can earn a different coloured balloon.

Build a Better World

In 2007, Girl Guides Australia's Guides Say... project identified environmental issues including climate change and water and poverty as the major concerns of Guides across Australia. As a result Girl Guides Australia, with the help of Tasmanian Guide Leaders, has developed this resource and challenge.

This challenge has been designed to help you explore how you can make a difference to our world through friendship, advocacy, challenge and enterprise.
