I figured that with Guides there's a whole lot of talk about everyone taking responsibility and giving new people opportunities, as well as trying hard to get badges etc while all in the spirit of Guiding. Ann seemed to have taken all that at face value and therefore been the ideal Guide - but I suspect it dawned on her as she got older that life isn't always like that and there's internal politics to deal with. Hence Ann removing all her Guide badges to be re-used, and explaining to Nicola that now she's 16 and can't be a Guide any more, she doesn't "terribly mind".
I think in RAH, family alliances (usually excluding her) are noticed by her for nearly the first time, which is partly why she reacts so badly.
