Girls Brigade is part of a global Christian movement with a great history and a passionate vision for this generation and the future. Worldwide there are over 3,000 GB Companies and over 126,000 members. In 2018, GB celebrated 125 years of mission among children and young people

 

Our values

Wherever GB is at work you’ll see these values being lived out in our attitudes and behaviours.

 

Fun!

In GB we laugh a lot – there are smiles because we enjoy activities and feel at ease in our relationships.

 

Sound!

GB is safe and secure. We take care in training and equipping leaders to operate responsibly in everything they do in GB. Safeguarding children and leaders and taking care to manage risk is important to GB.

 

Friendship!

Children, young people and leaders make friends through GB. We have time to get to know one another, to care and support each other like friends do. GB friends often become life-long friends.

 

Discovering Jesus!

Through GB, children, young people and their wider families discover the story of Jesus for themselves. They have opportunities and space to learn about Him and to become people who live like Him in this world.

 

Living it!

GB enables children and young people to discover gifts, develop their potential, take up opportunities to develop leadership and life skills and to express their values and faith in the way they live.

 

Yes!

GB is full of applause, encouragement, certificates, awards, smiles and simple ‘well done’. GB loves to affirm young people – to acknowledge their gifts, skills, achievements and efforts and to celebrate who they are.

 

Age Groups

n:investigate for 4-7 years

There are so many n:vestigations to choose from – Our Planet, Our Favourite Things, Celebrations, Other Countries – all packed with Get Mucky! Activities, Jump Up! Games, Dig Deep! and Zoom In! To find out about the topic and what the Bible can teach us. Gabby and Barney, two GB characters decide to investigate and invite you to join them.

 

n:gage for 7-11’s
Seven to 11s discover the adventure of following Jesus through GB's resource books

 

n:counta for 11-14’s
What does meeting real life head on mean? Hopefully GB helps you understand more about yourself, your skills and what God says about you. What are your favourite parts of GB  - catching up with friends? Games? Hot chocolate? Quite a few of the n:counta tracks suggest toast and time to chat, which is a fab idea.

n:spire for 13-18’s
An extra place to experience the challenge of life and faith. We know for 13-18s there’s probably a lot going on in your life – the dreaded coursework and exams which you can’t seem to get a break from. Remember that GB is a fun and safe place for you to be yourself.

At Girls’ Brigade, along with our weekly badge work, we also like to organise various activities in addition to our normal programme, and we have visited the Barn Owl Centre, the Climbing Warehouse in Gloucester, an African drumming workshop, a Fun Science session, and a visit to the Airborne Trampoline park, to name but a few.

Girls’ Brigade Camp

Over the past 5 years we have joined with the Bath Girls and Boys Brigade groups and other groups for summer camp.  In 2015 we camped in Chideock in Dorset, and in 2016 in Corfe, Dorset.  In 2017 we had a weekend residential at the TRAC centre in Newent, in 2018 we camped in Dyffryn in Snowdonia, and in 2019 in a residential centre in Wiltshire.
