Who are Rangers?

Rangers are young people aged 10-13, they meet weekly during term time and half term. Rangers have fun going on adventures, spending nights away camping and learning to take the lead.

What do Rangers do?

Rangers get to take part in a broad range of activities, trying new things outside of the norm is what they're all about. Simple things like warming up with a hot chocolate they made themselves on a camp stove in the forest and big challenges like high ropes and kayaking. Weekend and longer camps are also on offer for the full outdoor experience.

Rangers push themselves to try new things, work together as a team and solve problems.

Where and when do Rangers meet?

Rangers meet Mondays 6:30 - 8:30 pm during term time and half term holidays, on an area of private woodland in Lymington.
