Girlguiding has announced, on International Day of The Girl, that they are officially opening the doors to four-year-old girls nationwide. Rainbows, the charity’s youngest section, will now welcome girls from the age of four up to seven years old.
Rainbows has been running for 35 years and to celebrate the achievement, Girlguiding has collaborated with award-winning portrait photographer Emily Stein on a photo series entitled ‘Girls Are Made Of…’, celebrating the true face of four-year-old girls, challenging the dated stereotype that little girls should be ‘sugar and spice and all things nice’.
Launched to coincide with the annual International Day of the Girl, selected images from the series will be on display at Girlguiding’s London headquarters on Buckingham Palace Road, both in the windows and a gallery open to the public.
