1943 POR - Child Welfare Certificate
When a Ranger has gained the H.E.S. Armlet, or has worked at the basic training for at least a year, she may specialize and work for a Ranger Certificate. A Certificate is given for each section when a test in any one subject has been passed. The examinations of recognised outside societies should, where possible, be taken to qualify for Ranger Certificates.
Child Study
1) Know the conditions for the growth of a healthy mind.
2) Study the physical and mental development of children in one of the two periods:
a) From birth to five years
b) From five to adolescence.
3) Study the individual differences between children, including forms of play, degrees of self-reliance, attitude to authority, response to other members of a group.
4) Keep a record, under careful direction, of observations of children at play and in various situations.
Rangers should realise that they are (as in Frist Aid) only touching the fringe of a very wide and deep subject, and cannot undertake this course in a short time. Understanding can only come through a continued period of observation.
This course of child study should be one consisting of a course of lectures with observation of children directed by the lecturer, who should be a qualified person. Opportunities for these observations occur in Pack meetings, hospitals, schools, play-centres, in the home, street or playground.

This certificate will be awarded to Rangers gaining the British Red Cross Society Certificate in this subject.
