Rangers

The Ranger program provides various opportunities for the girls to explore, learn new skills and to enhance their life.

The Ranger branch was established in Sri Lanka in 1921 at the Girls’ High School, Kandy and Methodist College, Colombo. For some years these girls were known as Senior Guides but now the term ‘Rangers’ is used to identify them. The girls between the ages of 15 and 21 years fall into this branch.
