What do rainbows do?

Rainbows have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities as part of their programme called the Rainbow Jigsaw.

Their meetings are full of games and activities which provide challenging opportunities for Rainbows to think for themselves and take an active part in unit decision-making.

Everything a Rainbow does helps her to develop – it’s an opportunity to look, learn, laugh and love.

Who can be a Rainbow?

Any girl aged five or over can be a Rainbow. The oldest Rainbows are usually about seven years old. In Northern Ireland only, a girl may become a Rainbow at any time after her fourth birthday.

The Rainbow Promise

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.

Rainbow wear

A Rainbow chooses her outfit from a range of Rainbow wear. The specially designed Rainbow clothes are stylish, practical and economical for today’s girls. There is something to suit every Rainbow whatever she is doing, indoors or out.

The full range of official Rainbow wear can be found in the Guiding Essentials catalogue. Buying Rainbow wear from the Girlguiding UK Trading Service, online or at your local shop/depot benefits guiding across the country.
