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 think for herself, in a safe girl-only environment.

St Paul's Rainbows meet on Thursday evenings during term time, between 5.45 and 6.45pm. This, the youngest section of Girlguiding, is open to all girls between 5 and 7 years. If you would like more information or wish to add a name to our waiting list then please click here to email the Rainbow Guider.
Further information can be found at Girlguiding UK on their website www.girlguiding.org.uk

Rainbow trip to St. Leonard's Farm

To celebrate the Centenary year of Girl Guiding, our Rainbow pack was very excited to be visiting Farmer James's farm at Esholt, Bradford.

On Monday 9th April, 15 of our Rainbows, along with another 250 Rainbows from all around North East England turned up bright and early with smiling faces, ready for a fun day ahead.

We started our day with a talk from the farmer where we were able to hold many different animals including lambs, mice, guinea pigs and a ferret! After this we used some of our energy exploring the dark passages through the bales of hay in the play barn and swinging like Tarzan on the rope swing. A very bumpy tractor ride followed which was very funny!

We had a rest and ate our sandwiches and other goodies! Then we gave the animals their lunch including the very hungry ponies and chickens.

To end the day we played in the adventure barn, sliding down the really steep slides and fireman's pole, and finding our way round all the secret passages.

All the Rainbows came out looking very red and tired. On the way to the bus we had our last stop at the gift shop where everyone brought a souvenir, like a pencil or an animal toy then we got on the bus and headed home, and overall had a very fun filled day; we really did 'go wild'!
