Grand Assembly of the Philippines & Guam, International Order of the Rainbow for Girls
 Mission/Vision
Rainbow is a nonprofit organization that strives to give girls the tools, training, and encouragement to let their individual spirits shine bright. By providing members with a safe, fun, caring environment where responsible, older girls can interact and mentor younger girls through family involvement.
The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a fraternal organization for girls founded in McAlester, Oklahoma, on April 6, 1922, by William Mark Sexson and eleven adults, who comprised the first Supreme Assembly of the Order of the Rainbow for Girls. The organization was initially meant for young women from a Masonic or Eastern Star home, but, today, membership is open to any girl regardless of her Masonic or religious affiliation.
The Grand Assembly of the Philippines and Guam was formed in 1989. It's affairs are under the direction of the Supreme Inspector or Deputy, who works with the Grand Executive Committee to conduct all business including preparations for the Grand Assembly Sessions which is a biennial affair in this jurisdiction.
What does the organization do?
The objective of the Order is to prepare girls between the age of 11 and 20 years for a brighter, better, and more beautiful womanhood. The Order has two degrees: (l) Initiatory; and (2) Grand Cross of Color (which is an Honorary Degree).
Among other things, the organization teaches seven lessons, represented by the seven colors of the Rainbow: symbolizing love, religion, nature, immortality, fidelity, patriotism and service.
The Rainbow ritual teaches belief in a Supreme Being; great truths of the Bible; dignity of character; conception of higher things in life; effective leadership; church membership; cooperation with equals; patriotism; love of home; and service to humanity.
