Further Information:
Rainbows are the youngest members of the Girlguiding movement. Girls can start Rainbows when they are 5 years old and leave (generally to move onto Brownies) when they are 7.
At 29th Darlington Rainbows we can have upto 15 very enthusiastic 5-7 year olds enrolled to be Rainbows. We always have a good attendance and they always come with a big smile. We meet on a Thursday evening from 6-7pm.
A typical week starts with our special Rainbow song, followed by a Rainbow chat about what we have all been up to in the week. Olivia the doll makes sure that each Rainbow has a turn to speak. The Rainbows then enjoy an activity. The activity could be making a craft or cooking (Rainbows love making things); or maybe exploring the local environment. Our activity is usually followed by a game or two which is chosen by the girls. We finish our meeting with our goodbye song.
Part of being a Rainbow at All Saints is to attend Church Parade, which is held four times a year. Rainbows are also encouraged to take part in other areas of Church life, such as coming to the Summer Garden Party or Christmas Fayre.
