INFORMATION FOR GUIDERS BADEN POWELL CHALLENGE AWARD

A Guide is ready to start her Baden Powell Challenge Award when she is 11¾ years old, has gained two interest badges, two challenge badges and has made her promise. At this point, the Guider needs to complete a Notification of a Guide starting her BP Challenge Award form (BP1), which needs to be sent to the BP Co-ordinator as soon as possible.

Once the Guide has completed a minimum of 7 clauses she may complete the BP Adventure (Residential) application form (BP2) with her choice of adventure. More than one may be selected, with order of preference given.

At the end of the challenge adventure the Guide will be given a certificate of achievement and a cloth badge. The girl must then ensure that she completes any remaining clauses to achieve her BP challenge award.

It is the Unit Guider’s responsibility to ensure that the Guide speaks to her District Commissioner about her achievement and then the challenge award badge and certificate can be ordered from the County Badge secretary.  At this point, the unit Guider needs to send the Notification of Completion of the BP Challenge form (BP3) to the BP coordinator to inform her that the Guide has completed her BP Challenge Award using the Notification.

Finally, the Guide, her Guider and her unit will organize a suitable occasion for the presentation of the BP challenge award.
