Many thanks to Suzanne Whitewood for this update from IW Girlguiding. In her own words. Ed
Over 120 Rainbows, the youngest members of Girlguiding, from across the Island gathered at Havenstreet Steam Railway for a traditional Rainbow Romp recently.
At the event coordinated by the Island’s two Rainbow Section Commissioners – Carol Firth and Anne-Marie Kitcher – there were a number of different activities for the girls to choose from and undertake all based on the theme of ‘Disney’.
Most of the girls and some leaders dressed as Disney characters – there were certainly lots of princesses, Snow Whites and Tinkerbells.
Varied activities
Activities included; Designing a Disney Character; Toy Story Tin Can Alley; Peter Pan Crocodile Grid and a treasure hunt for Disney characters in the already very interesting Woodland Walk at Havenstreet Station.
Following lunch, when face painting was also undertaken, there was a traditional Rainbow sing-song with action songs that all the girls enjoy performing.
New Rainbows welcome
There are Rainbow units for girls aged from 5-7 years in most Island areas.
