... And that's what you missed at Pennsylvania Rainbow Girls' Pledge and Prospect Weekend!

Girls ages six to 11 are eligible for membership in one of PA Rainbow's 12 pledge groups, which hold their meetings monthly. Rainbow assembly members take a mentor role in pledge groups, so pledges get to socialize with peers and to learn from older girls.
