1st A KILSYTH RAINBOWS
1st A Kilsyth Rainbows
Rainbows is for girls aged between 4-7; it's exciting, messy, friendly and a lot of fun!
The Rainbows group meet on Thursday evenings from 6.00pm - 7.00pm.
​
A new Rainbow programme is now in use and, for the first time in Rainbow history, the girls can work towards activity badges. They are very excited about this.
This photograph shows the girls doing a Rainbow skittle experiment.
The following pictures show the girls working on their activities and skills builders.
Once they complete all the clauses, they earn a theme award.
There are 6 theme awards to achieve and once these are complete the girls get their gold award.
UPDATE 2024
​
Rainbows enjoyed a trip to Kiltoonies before we broke up for the Easter break. While there, our newest members made their Rainbow Promise. The previous week, we had a line dancing instructor along to teach the girls some steps and the local community Police officers just before that. The Police brought down a car and quad bike which the girls got a shot of in the courtyard.
​
After the Easter hoiday, we welcomed another 4 new Rainbows to our unit which has cleared our waiting list. We have the most girls we have ever had at the moment but we have 13 girls due to transfer to Brownies afer the summer.
​
The variety of activies have included: ceramic money bank painting; mosaic coasters and parachute; canvas bag decorating; pots of kindness; garden games/local walk (weather permitting); baking; family night - pot of gold celebration for those who are going to Brownies and have reached the end of the rainbow and also badge awards. Tea/cake and entertainment planned. 6 June (final night) - girls moving to Brownies will decide the party theme; 8 June - Civic Week parade.
​
Cheryl is currently a parent helper but has just completed her first aid course and additional safe space modules to allow her to begin her leadership training. Cheryl will take over the unit from September.
