Ontario Challenge
Ontario Section of the Challenge
To complete the Ontario section of Ontario/Nunavut challenge,
you must complete one activity from each of Sections
1, 2 and 3 under Ontario. Once complete you may wish
to purchase the crest at Ontario Guiding stores or through
the e-store at www.thegirlguidestore.ca. The crest is
the same for completing either Ontario or Nunavut parts
of the challenge. For Rangers to complete portions of
their program work, suggest they take the lead on some
challenge activities for girls in other branch units.
