| The Girl's Brigade is a uniformed organisation attached
to this congregation. The aim of the Girl's Brigade is 'To help girls
to become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and through self-control,
reverence, and a sense of responsibility to find true enrichment of
life'. The programme seeks to develop girls along four lines: mentally,
physically, spiritually and socially and is therefore built on the
four headings of Spiritual, Physical, Education and Service.
The motto of the Girl's Brigade is to seek, serve and follow Christ. It is split up into four sections (Explorers 3-7years, Juniors 8-10years, Seniors 11-13years and Brigaders 14-18 years old), and the High Kirk company has a membership of 120. All girls, from the Juniors upwards, work towards badges. These are obtained by completing work in the disciplines of spiritual, physical, education and service. As well as the Brigaders Brooch, the girls have the option of working towards the Queens Award, which is the highest award in the GB. After this, there is the option of becoming a sub officer. The girls also participate in different competitions such as PE, drill, and volleyball. All GB sections meet on Tuesday night. |
