## **A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year** 

Our unit had 4 consistent Rangers during the period of 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023. During the year, Rangers took part in several activities to gain badges such as Chinese New Year, Skills For My Future Theme Award, Young Leader Qualifications and they are currently working towards their Queens Guide Award. 

Rangers had the opportunity to get out into the world, have exciting new experiences and have fun with their friends. The Rangers took part in the following: 

|•|A Halloween party|
|---|---|
|•|Christmas Crafts|
|•|Chinese New year craft|
|•|Easter Craft|
|•|Adventures|
|•|Learning new skills.|



These badges enhanced the girls’ teamwork and communication skills alongside developing their creativity and self-confidence. Rangers have been involved in volunteering with the Brownie and Guide units each week as part of their leadership qualification. 3 girls are working towards their adult leadership qualifications. 

Our final event before the summer concluded with a joint BBQ between Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers across the unit where we had bouncy castles before breaking up for the holidays. **There was no private benefit flowing from the purpose and there is no harm flowing from the purpose of Girlguiding Ulster.**
