What do Rainbows do?
Rainbows have fun! They take part in games and activities as part of their programme called the Rainbow Jigsaw. Everything a Rainbow does helps her to develop and to think for herself, in a safe girl-only environment.

  • Any girl aged five to seven can be a Rainbow.
  • Rainbows make this simple Promise that they share with members around the world: I promise that I will do my best to love my God and to be kind and helpful.
  • Rainbows have a range of items they can wear. As all girls wear the same thing they feel as though they belong. No girl is excluded because they do not have the right clothes.




Programme
The Rainbows' programme is called the Rainbow Jigsaw to reflect how the varied Rainbow activities link to create a larger balanced picture.

Balanced and varied programme
The Rainbow Jigsaw has four areas to give it balance and variety. Each activity a Rainbow does is based on one or more of these areas.

Rainbows Look
This area allows Rainbows to begin to understand that they are part of a wider world.

Rainbows Learn
Rainbows learn all the time, both in guiding and in their daily lives. A Rainbow learns by doing activities at her meetings. Being a Rainbow should be fun and not at all like school.

Rainbows Laugh
This area of the Rainbow Jigsaw encourages games, songs, parties, celebrations, making a mess and enjoying life.

Rainbows Love
This area is at the heart of the Rainbow Jigsaw. A girl is beginning to understand the concept of ‘love’ when she joins Rainbows through her experiences of caring and sharing with family and friends, and being kind to others.
