Scottish Party
The girls had a Scottish Party in the middle of January to celebrate Burns’ Day. We all wore something tartan and danced to modern Scottish music, played favourite games with a Scottish twist, learned some Ceilidh routines, enjoyed party food and did a Scottish Quiz! We finished with a very loud and energetic Auld Lang Syne! As part of their badgework, the girls learn to help others. At our Scottish Party, we remembered those who don’t have enough to eat. Each girl was asked to bring £1, and all the money was collected together and sent to Bangladesh. We raised enough to buy meals for 160 children!
February Fun Night The Explorers and Juniors enjoyed a Fun Night just before the February School Holidays. The older Juniors led the Opening Worship by reading “The Rainbow Fish” story about sharing, then all the girls had fun playing “Flap the Fish”, before splitting into groups to make giant Girls’ Brigade posters! We also learnt to play a new game, “Star Wars”, and took part in a very noisy Sound Effects Bible Story!
Badgework
The Explorers have been learning about the red background in our Girls’ Brigade badge, which means Jesus died for us because He loves us. They have made mini heart cakes for Valentines’ Day, enjoyed a heart relay race and had lots of fun decorating balloons! The Juniors have been learning about the cross in the centre of our GB badge and heard the Easter story. They made Scottish corsages and bread houses and also had fun cake decorating! Both sections enjoyed watching a cartoon DVD of some well-known Bible Stories and making Girls’ Brigade paper dolls.
Display Night
The girls’ families and friends were entertained at the Parents’ Night towards the end of March, when the girls showed off their skills at marching, dancing, songs and other activities. They had also put in a lot of effort rehearsing a special Grand Finale!
Closing Parade
On Sunday 9th May the girls will be joining with the boys of the Boys’ Brigade in the closing parade in the Church 11.00am.

The Girls´ Brigade
The Girls´ Brigade is a Christian uniformed organisation, international and interdenominational. It was formed in July 1965 by the union of the following three organisations:
The Girls´ Brigade (Ireland), formed by Miss M Lyttle in Dublin in 1893 on twin pillars, Bible Class and Physical Training, with its aim, "The extension of Christ's Kingdom among girls". Membership at the time of the union was 8,000.
The Girls´ Guildry was founded by Dr W F Somerville in Glasgow in 1900. It was a church-based organisation providing programmes for four age groups, and its varied activities were aimed at helping girls to become mature Christian women. It was international and interdenominational, with a strong emphasis on service to others. The first overseas company was registered in Jamaica in 1923. Membership at the time of the union was 35,000.
The Girls´ Life Brigade was founded by the National Sunday School Union (now known as the National Christian Education Council), a church-based international organisation in England, in 1902. It had a varied programme responsible for four age groups. Its aim was, "To help and encourage girls to become responsible, self-reliant, useful Christian women". Membership at the time of union was 120,000.
All these movements were designed to provide weekday activities for members of Sunday Schools and Churches. Methods have been adapted over the years, and the union of the three organisations in The Girls´ Brigade can be seen as a strengthening of purpose in the faces of the challenge of the present day.
