Any girl aged between 5 and 7 years old can be a Rainbow. Rainbows are the youngest members of Girlguiding UK, which is the UK's largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women.

Rainbow units have a maximum of 18 girls. The girls get plenty of help with the various crafts, games and other fun things that we do, from leaders and parent helpers.

1st Foulsham Rainbows usually meet once each week during school term times.

Rainbows wear a polo shirt, red trousers and jacket or a purple tabard. These are available from Guiding Essentials or can be ordered by your Guider (please ask for details).

When you join 1st Foulsham Rainbows you will given your "Ready for Rainbows" booklet. This introduces you to our mascot, Olivia, and helps prepare you for your Rainbows promise.

Rainbow Guides, like all members of The Guide Association, make a promise which is simple and easy to learn.

When a Rainbow makes her promise she becomes a true Rainbow Guide. The Rainbow receives her Promise badge to pin onto her uniform and a welcome bag. The whole unit joins together in saying the Rainbow promise.

Being a Rainbow is lots of fun and a great place to meet new friends. We enjoy doing many things, we especially like to play games, cook, go outside, make things and sing songs. We go on outings to local places, such as the cinema, a nearby farm and Whitwell station, and can always find an excuse for a party!

This is our special Rainbow Song that we sing at the start of each meeting.

Olivia and her friends Rainbow Rabbit, Rainbow Bear and Whitwell Bear each go home with a different Rainbow every week. They're brought back the following week and the Rainbows tell the rest of the group what they've been up to and how they have helped them to keep their promise.

Rainbows can earn this badge by working together and choosing various fun activities to try from our Roundabout mats. They cover the four pieces of the Rainbow Jigsaw , , , as a group to earn the badge.
