Welcome to 1st Bures Rainbows. Rainbows is for girls aged 5-7 years. We meet every Tuesday 4.30pm-5.30pm (during term time only) at the Scout and Guide Headquarters, The Croft (off the High Street), Bures St Mary. At our meetings Rainbows enjoy a range of activities and challenges to encourage them to think for themselves, helping each Rainbow to develop and enjoy learning. We have a parents rota for those who are able to help by attending meetings a few times a year.

Access to the Scout and Guide Headquarters

Access to the HQ by car is from the Sudbury Road entrance (B1508) just past the cottages
(Croft End).
You must only access this entrance and exit via The Croft ensuring a One-way System is operational. This helps minimize traffic congestion. However, residents returning home will be entering The Croft from the High Street. You do not have right of way and courtesy should be given to residents at all times. When dropping off and collecting please be aware of resident’s right of access to all homes in The Croft particularly to the cottages opposite and beyond the Scout & Guide Headquarters.

Speed limit down The Croft is 10mph.

At no time should you exit via the Sudbury Road, as it is on a dangerous corner.

If you require seeing a Leader at the end of the meeting – please come down at least
10 minutes
before the meeting finishes and park your car in the car park so as not to block the road – thanks.

Help to keep traffic flow down – please car share, walk or cycle – thanks.

 

     Supporters Committee

We would like to welcome all parents to serve on the supporters’ committee, to help raise money for new equipment, running costs, and the organising of events. Informal meetings are held six times a year at the Scout & Guide Headquarters. During the year, a few work mornings/afternoons are organised, to help keep the hut clean and tidy, and parents are welcome to help.
