Age groups
What age groups does VISG 88 work with?
The umbrella organisation, the Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder Österreichs, offers four age levels
(Wichtel und Wölflinge/Cubs and Brownies, Guides und Späher/Scouts and Guides, Caravelles and Explorers,
Rangers and Rovers). The VISG 88 is able to offer two of these; further age levels can be offered if there is
sufficient demand!
The Cubs and Brownies...
Our youngest members are called Cubs and Brownies (aged 7-9). The children in this group develop their
young personalities through team work and projects, all within the framework of a playful environment.
..and the Scouts and Guides!
The second age group is the Scouts and Guides (aged 10-13). The Guides (girls) and Scouts (boys) assume
responsibilities within a small team, learn to recognise their own qualities and contribute these to the group.
The adventures they enjoy such as camping and hiking are experiences which remain with them throughout life.
