Baden-Powell Challenge

Before the girls even start to work towards this Award, the highest they can achieve as a Guide, they have to have made their promise, achieved two Guide Challenge Badges and have achieved at least two Interest Badges.

Hayley started Guides the spring of 2000.  She successfully completed her 1st and 2nd year Challenge Badges, her Campers Badge, her Traditions of Guiding Badge, her Confectioner’s Badge, her Agility Badge and her Hobbies Badge.  She also completed several Go-for-Its which involved working with her patrol.  She participated in several fundraising activities in which 2nd Nuneaton Guides have been involved, also attending every District event possible.

In addition to the work Hayley had already done, she was required to complete ten clauses of her choice from the BP Challenge badge syllabus.  These ten activities had to cover the following zones:-

Healthy lifestyles                   - to encourage in Guides a healthy lifestyle by promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well-being

Global awareness                 - to increase awareness of global issues and of the contribution each Guide can make

Discovery                              - to challenge Guides with new experiences and adventures

Skills and relationships        - to develop Guides’ self-confidence and self-worth and to improve their inter-personal and life skills

Celebrating diversity             - to promote in Guides active citzenship and to develop their awarenss of rights and responsibilities for all

Hayley planned a “Ready Steady Cook” evening, a international evening for her patrol, a manicure session for her patrol and helped developed 2nd Nuneaton Guide’s website, amongst many other activities. 

Hayley’s final step in gaining this Award was to go on a Baden-Powell Challenge weekend which she successfully completed in September 2004 by going on a canal boat weekend.
