What do girls say about Rainbows? 

"It's cool, I like being with my friends and having fun," says seven-year-old Rainbow Megan. 

As part of Girlguiding, the largest organisation for girls and young women in the UK, Rainbows can move on with the great friends they have made to become Brownies, Guides and beyond.

Brownies is our section for girls aged between seven and ten.  Their meetings are full of challenges, games and activities, usually ones that the Brownies suggest themselves.

Girls become a member of a Six (with names like Badger, Fox and Squirrel) and work towards Theme Awards. To find out more about the Brownie programme click here.

At Brownies girls take part in a wide range of activities at their regular meetings and at special events, day trips, sleepovers, camps and holidays. They are challenged to do their best: whether this is trying out arts and crafts or recipes, playing energetic games or taking part in outdoor activities and community projects. There are lots of fun things for Brownies to do including activities, stories and games on the Brownie website.  

Brownies extend their knowledge and abilities by working for Brownie interest badges, like the Archaeology badge and the Charities badge.

Guides is our section for girls aged between ten and fourteen. Being a Guide encourages girls to develop themselves by undertaking challenges and pushing the boundaries of their experience.

Guides take part in a wide range of activities at their meetings and at special events and holidays. They do everything from adventure sports to playing fun games, from organising fashion shows and parties, to doing their bit for others through community action initiatives. There are special events like the Big Gig, which is a huge pop concert just for Guides, GMWFest which is a festival run by our County, as well as sleepovers and camping trips.  So, even if you think you know what Guides is all about, we're sure you'll be surprised!

Guides work together in small groups called Patrols and choose and run activities themselves. They get involved in all kinds of activities that you wouldn't find in school or at home. They can also work towards interest badges such as Mixology and Upcycling. You can find out more here.

Guides are part of Girlguiding, the largest organisation for girls and young women in the UK. When a Guide gets older, she can become a  Ranger or Young Leader.
