I'm thinking about sending my 5 year old to rainbows. I did a lot of brownies and guiding as a child / young person and gave terrific memories. I was never a rainbow though.


In particular, we aren't religious and whilst I personally can't remember much past church parade as a brownie/guide, but maybe I've just forgotten. Is religion a large part of meetings? Does it depend on the pack?


Thanks so much for any thoughts either by PM or reply.

Hi , I can only give my experience based on the Rainbows unit that my daughter attended.

The rainbow pack she attended is part of her school so I'm not sure if this makes a difference but there was no religious input at all , the meetings were great fun ( I am a helper there) and the girls have great fun working towards their different badges, they have done fire safety this year, a performance badge, hostess badge, arts and crafts etc, they go on trips as well but nothing overnight .

The girls have great fun and it is a lovely atmosphere , I haven't any experience with ones out of school so I'm not sure what the set ups are like.

    • strong agree rockets - not just the kids tho - the number of older people who seem to have been radicalised is more noticeable to me
    • Probably, in the freezer 🤣
    • I've been going to the gym for many years. I was initially disappointed with the refurb when I first arrived back, as it did not have a lot of the previous equipment I used and it seemed under-stocked in terms of machinery. However, upon returning a second time I have now seen that have added more machinery to the main floor. I'm not expecting them to bring back the machines I previously used, but there are some useful additions, such as the vertical climbing machine and there are now 3 stair-masters instead of 2. The weighted hack squat machine and hip thrust machine are plus points as well. Provided it doesn't get overcrowded (like it was when I first arrived) I think it can still be a good place to work out.
    • Scary, scary times. We have all been brought up to fear the 1984-style dystopian world where governments control communication and use it to oppress and yet it seems that actually we needed to fear the people building the communication channels (although clearly Trump is pulling the strings). With news this week that Meta is also relaxing moderation and fact-checking we are heading into uncharted territory.  Labour were very clever with their social media strategy in the run-up to the election and now social media is a huge threat to them and is disrupting and distracting. The concern with social media prior to this was with the threat from the likes of Tik-Tok because of their links to China. Perhaps the only outcome we can wish for is that Trump falls out with Musk (it will definitely happen at some point because those two big egos are like oil and water) and Musk turns the tables on him, but then who will Musk align himself with then. Maybe this will actually end-up with people waking up to the fact that there is a generation of kids who believe everything they read on social media and that that was becoming a dangerous precedent because whomever controlled the platform controlled the narrative.
