The famous Pot of Gold Irish lore is based on a bit of trickery -- there really is no end to a rainbow. The way the physics work, rainbows are actually full circles -- only the Earth's ground gets in the way of us seeing the complete circle.
One version of the fable is that a leprechaun granted one wish to a couple who was very poor and had little. They asked for riches of gold and silver. The leprechaun was angered that the couple would be so selfish, but as a hint, told them he put their riches in a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and the story goes the couple is still looking for the end of the rainbow to this day
This kit will save you countless hours, perfect for the frazzled Leader and busy mom. Included is the exact amount you will need, pre-cut, pre-sorted and packaged in one convenient bag.
This would be a great time to introduce your troop to SWAPS and a great craft activity. With these SWAPS you can be ready for your next big SWAP Event, SWAPS Exchange or SWAPPING at Camp.
