About Rainbows
*What are the Rainbows?
Rainbow Guides are the youngest members of Girlguiding UK. They are usually aged between five and seven and some Rainbow Guides like to stay until they are a little bit older.
Any girl over the age of five can become a Rainbow Guide as long as she is able to understand, and wants to make, the Rainbow Guide Promise.
What do Rainbow Guides do?
Rainbow Guides have fun! They take part in all sorts of activities in and out of doors - exploring, sharing and discovering. They have their own adventures and also learn to be kind and helpful to others.
Rainbows play games, paint, draw and make things. They enjoy listening to stories and singing songs. At each meeting there is time for them to share their news with others.
Have a look at a page of a scrap book from Sara, a typical Scottish Rainbow.
The Rainbow Jigsaw
The Rainbow programme is called the Rainbow Jigsaw. It is a very special programme just for Rainbows, it is comprised of four areas:
Rainbows Look.
Rainbows Learn.
Rainbows Laugh.
Rainbows Love.
The Rainbow Jigsaw is bright and modern, with a framework that encourages each girl to realise her full potential and to progress through Rainbows by taking part in a variety of fun, interesting and challenging activities..
The Rainbow Guide Promise
I promise that I will do my best to love my God and to be kind and helpful.
