rainbow girls

i was a rainbow girl when i was 14...had no idea what it was...just didn't want to be there at 14. i even got in lots of trouble at camp!

if my grandfather was a mason/grandmother in easternstar...does that mean my daughter could be in rainbow?

All your daughter needs is an invitation. No family affiliation is necessary.

Like you, I was a member....wasn't a good member...but a member.

it was a teenage thing...my grandmother was really disappointed with me...and she was such a sweet lady. sometimes i still feel badly. however, my daughter is a better rule follower than i was and i think it is something she would enjoy

What sort of activities does the Rainbow Girls group do? My kids have been involved mostly in the Girl Scouts.

I wasn't good at it because I wasn't an obedient, do whatever adults said because they are adulats and said so, kind of child. I also had nothing in comon with the other girls.

Reviewer,
It really depends on the particular group. Mostly it involves chartiable work. What got me were the meetings where you had to wear a dress and the installations where you had to wear a long formal gown. It seemed like it was more a fashion show than anything really meaningful. Of course this was in the mid 1980's and I was in the mid of 80's teenage angst.

I had much more fun in the Girl Scouts!

I have heard however that other groups were much more fun than the one I was in, so who knows.

i would have to agree with you on that ..I think the parents should do some investigating into what a particular group does... the rainbow girls that i was apart off didn't really do anything ....well not what i expected ...and when it came to the formal gowns it was more like a popularity contest... who had the better dress .

Jccze,
Exactly! It was that way for every meeting...who had the best dresses....who never missed church. It was more important to GO than to get anything out of it. And you had to go to the "right" church. It was so stupid. The rituals were stupid because they were done for their own sake as opposed to having any real meeting. If anything, the group I belonged to was a danger to my faith instead of enhancing it.

And don't even get me started on the antics that went on at the Grand Assembly....
