Girl Guides: The revamp
Girlguiding is planning a major overhaul of its badge programme. Classic badges will be replaced by new ones more relevant to the 21st century, such as app design, vlogging and upcycling. Janie Hampton, author of How the Girl Guides Won the War and a Girl Guide in the 60s, says the "core values" of the Girl Guides have stayed the same since 1910 but they continue to "move with the times". Elena Veris Reynold, 17-year-old Girl Guide advocate, says the best thing about the programme is that it's so varied and that "whatever you're into" there will be a badge or an activity for it.
