How we work

Aim & Principles

The three principles

The Girls' Brigade has three founding principles:

  1. The Brigade acknowledges Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord according to the Scriptures and seeks to fulfil its aim to the glory of one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
  2. The Brigade witnesses to the standard set by Jesus Christ and gives positive teaching on the Christian attitude to life
  3. The Brigade promotes a just society where all people are equally valued.

The Motto

"Seek, Serve and Follow Christ"

The Aim

"To help girls become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and through self control, reverence and a sense of responsibility to find true enrichment of life"

Executive Group

The Executive Group of The Girls' Brigade in Scotland is the management body for the organisation, responsible for making policy decisions and ensuring their implementation throughout the organisation.

National Groups

National Groups were created to focus on specific aspects of the work of The Girls' Brigade in Scotland.  They comprise approximately six volunteers per group, one of whom takes on the role of Group Leader, plus a member of the GB HQ staff team who supports and services the work of the group.  Each member serves for a period of three years.  The key qualification for a Group Member is their enthusiasm for the purpose of the group they are part of and a desire to promote its message to the wider network of GB members through programmes and events. 

National Structure - Groups

Company Structure

Each Company is part of a Church or Mission who has invited a group of leaders to form a company on their behalf.  The Church is responsible for the appointment of leaders and the overall well being of each company.  Read on to learn about what makes up a company.

Uniform

The Girls' Brigade uniform is practical and affordable, providing girls and young women with a common identity irrespective of individual situations or backgrounds.
