The
International Order of Rainbow for Girls is a character building
organization for teen-aged girls and has for its purposes and goals the
encouragement and teachings of:
-
A
belief in the existence of a supreme being and the immortality of
the soul.
-
The
great truths of the Holy Bible
-
Church
membership (of your choice), attendance and active participation
-
Patriotism

to humanity and the community
Its supreme effort is to create strong effective leaders and develop
individual character. By
precept and example, it continually emphasizes to every Rainbow Girl the
lessons taught and symbolized by the colors of the rainbow.
Any
girl between the ages of 11 and 20 and is a friend of a Rainbow girl, or
can be recommended by an Eastern Star or Master Mason in good standing
is eligible to membership.
The
four main types of activities for Rainbow are:
-
Service
Projects
-
Charity
Projects
-
Money-Making
projects
-
Fun
projects
Since each assembly is self supporting, it is necessary to have various
money making projects. They vary in each assembly.
Every Rainbow assembly is organized and governed by the uniform code of
by-laws of the Supreme Assembly of Rainbow for Girls. The girl elected
to serve for a term of six months as Worthy Advisor has the complete
control and responsibility for the performance and conduct of the
Assembly. However, the Assembly is, at all times directly under the
guiding hand of the Mother Advisor. In addition to the Mother Advisor,
there is an adult Advisory Board. |
