Rainbow Girls earn merit bars and awards for their continued service throughout their Rainbow career. Members work hard throughout the year in their local assemblies, in their communities, and in the state to serve their Rainbow Sisters, their supportive Sponsoring Bodies (Eastern Star and Masonry), and many whom they have never met. Rainbow Girls in NH know that the service they perform for NH will help build a better life for everyone in our Granite State!

Special Awards

These awards are received after a member has obtained all of their bars. They are for continued service and work in their Assemblies and at the state level. Many of these are hard to receive, as they cannot be obtained until all the colored bars are obtained, so NH Rainbow Girls work extra hard to continue their service work!
