Community Action is volunteering; it’s about making a positive contribution or change. It further builds on Rangers volunteering with extended practical action in their community. The Pathway Badge provides Rangers with the skills to fully participate in all aspects of the Ranger Programme. The skills they learn will make them a valued member of any Unit team and will equip them with confidence for a leadership experience.
