What do Rainbows do?

group of rainbows

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.

 Our Annual Report to the church for 2010/11:

We have had another busy year doing lots of activities including:

  • Earning our Challenge 100 badges
  • Enjoying a Revels day at Kinver scout camp
  • Growing nasturtiums
  • Trying fair-trade foods
  • Doing a roundabout badge
  • Celebrating all the Christian festivals

We currently have 11 Rainbows. A number of Rainbows also come along to Messy Church and 3 of our Rainbows attend Sunday School.

We charge subs of £1.30 per week.

Sandra and Emma will be stepping down as Rainbows leaders this year after 20 years and 10 years service respectively. However we are delighted that from September, Clare Wood will take over the leadership of the unit and has even managed to twist a friend’s arm to help her. Sandra and I are delighted to be passing on the mantle to such a safe pair of hands, as we had feared that the unit might have to close.

We are very grateful to everyone at church who donated their Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers to Rainbows – we were able to obtain a voucher to allow us to obtain food items from Sainsbury’s for free, and also a cheer leading kit, which the girls really enjoy using.
