It is a service and social organization for girls ages 6 to 10 who are willing to pledge themselves to a life of love and service. It is hoped that, on their 11th birthday, or during their 11th year, they will be eager to petition for membership in the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls.
The Pledge Program can open the door to experiences and friendships that will stay with young girls throughout their lives.
Being a Rainbow Pledge girl is not a religion, but the program does require the belief
in the existence of a Supreme Being and encourages each Pledge to be active in the church of her choice.
The Rainbow Pledge Program has no membership fees or dues. However, we may ask occasionally for assistance with an activity to act as a chaperone or to provide transportation or refreshments. Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians are welcome and encouraged to attend all Rainbow Pledge meetings.
Rainbow Pledge girls are required to wear dresses or skirts to the meetings, and adult leaders and women guests who assist are requested to wear dresses or skirts also.
The Rainbow Pledge Program allows girls to be of service to others, which will bring the girls a genuine feeling of accomplishment, that they will discover the meaning of true happiness by helping others.
The Rainbow Pledge Program is designed to be a confidence builder. A Rainbow Pledge will learn how to accept responsibility and how to be both an effective leader and a dependable follower. She will have the opportunity learn how to speak effectively and to listen carefully.
Several activities during the year will be held with the Rainbow Girls with the hope that, on her eleventh birthday, a Rainbow Pledge will decide to continue her service activities by becoming a Rainbow Girl.
