Girls' Brigade PDF Print E-mail

girls brigade logo.pngGirls' Brigade is an international uniformed organisation.  It aims to help girls learn about the Christian faith whilst having lots of fun at the same time!

Girls' Brigade is split into four age groups:

  • Explorers aged 4 -7 (school years R-2)
  • Juniors aged 7-9 (school years 3-5)
  • Seniors aged 10-12 (school years 6-8)
  • Brigaders aged 13+ (school year 9+)

Each year, girls work towards a badge.  In order to achieve this badge they do four sets of ‘badgework' based on each of the following parts:

  • Spiritual
  • Physical
  • Educational
  • Service

This spells ‘SPES' which is the Latin word for ‘Hope' - the ‘Hope' that we have for the future of each and every girl who undertakes badgework.

When and where does 1st Torquay Girls' Brigade meet?

Girl's Brigade meets every Friday during term time in the Main Hall at Upton Vale Baptist Church.

The Explorer and Junior sections meet between 5.45pm and 7.15pm and the Senior and Brigader sections meet between 7pm and 8.30pm.

How much does it cost?

It costs 50p each week. We also have a tuck shop most weeks which sells sweets and also pens, stickers and rubbers.

Kidzone is our fun and vibrant children’s ministry for those at primary school. We have a large dynamic team of leaders who are committed to caring for and sharing their faith with the children.  Our aim is to help those we work with understand that God is interested in every aspect of life – loving, laughing, playing, praying. We have a varied programme of activities to help us achieve this. We also have provision for the under five’s on a Sunday morning and run a number of family events throughout the year.
