Guiding is a game - with a purpose. It provides opportunities for girls to be challenged by new adventures and experiences to achieve a sense of pride in accomplishment.  Guiding also teaches them to understand and learn about the world, its people and cultures.

What Do Rainbows Do?

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

Our 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.  As a Rainbow your daughter is a member of Girlguiding UK, the largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women in this country.  It has about 600,000 members.  There are similar organisations throughout the world and Girlguiding UK is a founding member of the world Association that unites them.

Who can be a Rainbow?

Any girl aged five or over can be a Rainbow.  The oldest Rainbows are usually about seven years old ( There is a waiting list so that girls can be put on from when they are born).  Membership of Girlguiding UK is voluntary and is open to any girl or woman, regardless of faith, race, culture, nationality or any other circumstance, provided she is able to understand and willing to make the Promise.

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, economical and fun for today's girls.  There is something to suit every Rainbow whatever she is doing, indoors or out - so she is bound to find something she will love to wear.  A Rainbow does not have to wear the same combination of garments as others in her unit.

We run the meetings every Monday between 6pm - 7pm ( term time only) at the Village Hall, Station Road, Endon.
