The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls (IORG) is a youth group for girls between the ages of 11 and 20. Local groups (Assemblies) have Masonic affiliations. The girls are not required to have a Masonic relationship, although many of the adult workers are either members of a local Masonic Lodge, Order of the Eastern Star Chapter, or Order of the Amaranth Court. The girls learn about charity, hope, and service through their work and involvement with their annual local and Grand (state or country) service projects.
On April 6, 1922, the degrees of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls were first exemplified on a class of one hundred and seventy one girls in the auditorium of the Scottish Rite Temple in McAlester, Oklahoma.
