Girlguiding Guernsey are launching a new Rainbow Guide unit at Le Grand Courtil in St Martins. The Unit is for girls aged 4 to 7 and they will meet every Friday from 5 to 6 pm starting on 6th May.
There is already a Rainbow unit meeting at St Martins Community centre but it is full with a waiting list so leaders are opening a new unit so that more girls have the opportunity to join and take part in the varied and fun programme offered by Girlguiding.
8 girls have already joined and they are looking forward to their first meeting on Friday.
Leader Louise Goddard said “We are so excited about meeting our new Rainbows. This week we will be working on our Make Change badge, talking about who can help us and playing some games getting to know each other. We will be learning about different charities and how we can help them. In the next few weeks we will also be doing some activities about the Queens Jubilee and then after half term we will be going out and about with visits to the park and beach. Our aim is that this term the Rainbows will each earn 2 badges.” She added “we still have some spaces if other girls would like to join us. Please call on 07781 444036 or email girlguidingguernsey@suremail.gg”
Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the British Isles giving girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities. We build girls’ confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good. We give them a space to have fun. We run Rainbows (4–7 years), Brownies (7–10 years), Guides (10–14 years) and Rangers (14–18 years).
