? ? ? ? ? ? ? Rangers
: Unit Charter 2000 - 2001
All Guide units (Brownies/Guides/Rangers) have
been asked to draw up a "Unit Charter" outlining the basic running
of the unit. This document has been drawn up by and represents
the consensus of the members; it will be reviewed at least once
a year and more often should the need arise.
|
|
Aims
|
In common with the rest of the Guide Association and
WAGGGS, ????????? Rangers aims to foster
the personal development of the individual whilst encouraging community
awareness and good citizenship at local, national and international
level and, following the instructions of our Founder, Lord Robert
Baden-Powell, to HAVE FUN!!! whilst doing so. |
|
|
Meetings
|
??????????? Rangers will
meet every ??????????? during school
term time in ???????? from ???
to ???? pm. On special occasions these
times may be varied but notice will be given in advance. During
exam periods, meetings may be reduced to fortnightly, but in any
case, school work MUST come first. |
May be varied e.g to fortnightly during exam
periods etc.
|
|
Numbers
|
Because of the required adult/girl ratio (for insurance)
the unit size has to be limited to a maximum of 24 girls. |
Fixed - outside our control (Current membership
19)
|
|
Eligibility
|
?????????? Rangers is
open to any girl over the age of 14 who lives in the ?????????
Guiding Division - the area between ?????
and ?????? and south to ????????
She does not necessarily have to have been a Guide or Brownie. |
Currently, 4 of the girl have never been
in Guides before
|
|
Subs
|
A weekly subscription of ??
is payable to cover rent, heating, equipment, materials etc. In
addition, an annual Census fee is payable on February 22nd to the
Guide Association to cover insurance etc. (this does NOT come to
the unit) - this is currently £11 per girl but may be varied and
is outside our control. |
Discount for paying termly in advance - £10
per term.
|
|
Outside events
|
Any outside trips (cinema, bowling, meals out etc.) must be paid
for in full before the event. We will endeavour to subsidise camps
etc. as far as funds allow.
Fundraising events for special occasions, equipment etc. are
for the benefit of EVERY member of the unit and so all members
should endeavour to attend.
|
|
|
Uniform
|
The Guides are a uniformed organisation. We do not,
however, expect full uniform to be worn at weekly meetings but once
a Ranger has been enrolled she should wear her Promise badge to
meetings. For special occasions where the girls are in public as
Rangers they should have at least a Ranger/Young Leader sweatshirt
or other uniform top and wear navy trousers or jeans, plus Unit
necker when available. |
|
|
Attendance
|
School work comes first. That said, we meet early
for precisely that reason - the majority of the girls should be
home by 8 and still have time to do homework. It SHOULDN'T be left
until the night before it is due to be handed in anyway! If any
girl can't attend a meeting, please ring and let us know so we don't
waste time waiting for her. |
|
|
Planning
|
???????????? Rangers
will have a planning committee consisting of two adult leaders and
three Rangers elected by the girls to represent them.
The term's programme will be drawn up by this committee and notified in advance; to
earn an Octant Certificate the girls need to complete ALL the sections
so if any planned meetings are missed they will have to make up
an equivalent section in their own time. |
Ideas! Input!
|
|
Forms
|
Outside events, trips and visits all
require written parental permission for Rangers under 18 and in
some instances (holidays, camps etc.) a signed health declaration.
There is NO medical condition which will exclude any of the girls
from our activities (apart from infectious disease!) so please LET
US KNOW about asthma, allergies, diabetes, eczema, epilepsy, heart
conditions…….etc. etc. etc. Signed forms should be returned before
the event (usually by a specified date.) |
