Rainbows, Brownies, Guides & Rangers
St Martin’s Hall, The Bourne Green
RAINBOWS
Rainbows learn by doing – they get their hands dirty, do sports, arts and crafts and play games. Being a Rainbow is all about having the space to try new things. Through taking part in a range of different activities with girls their own age, Rainbows develop self-confidence and make lots of new friends.
BROWNIES
Brownies introduces girls to a world of new opportunities, challenges and fun.
Girls go along to camps, holidays, day trips and sleepovers. They get together with their friends at regular meetings where they learn new hobbies, get creative, develop skills and have outdoor adventures.
As well as trying activities in their meetings, girls choose from interest badges related to things they want to know more about.
GUIDES
What you do in Guides is up to you, from taking part in lots of exciting activities at regular meetings to special events and trips away.
You will choose from different badges and awards which will help you learn new skills and try new challenges. You can do some of this on your own and others you’ll do in groups in your regular unit meetings
RANGERS
Rangers is for all girls aged 14-18

Rangers encouraged me to get involved in activism and to travel, to follow my dreams. In the last 10 months I've travelled to 7 countries to live and work while starting to study part-time at university. - Ranger
