Comments on the clue
1.A Rainbow becomes a Brownie, not vice versa
2.Others will probably say, but Rainbows are the youngest group, then Brownies and then Guides.
3.Not quite convinced by the all in one aspect, especially to produce 'rainbow' rather than 'Rainbow Guide'
 
Comments on the competition
1.
The Brownie idea at 33 was very good and got my five points. Alas 3 seemed to get the Rainbow/Brownie progression in the wrong order and therefore failed to score.
