About the Company
The girls in the company are spilt in to sections which reflect their ages:
| Explorers | 5-7 years old | School years Reception-3 |
| Juniors | 8-10 years old | School years 4-6 |
| Seniors | 11-13 years old | School years 7-9 |
| Brigaders | 14+ | School years 10-13 |
| Young Leaders | 15+ | School years 11+ College, Uni |
Each section has a different badge system which means that the activities they take part are suited to their age. Each year the girls work towards one badge that consists of four different sections:
- Spiritual
- Physical
- Educational
- Service
Here are just a few of the things that the girls can get involved in:
Sports - Drama - Cookery - Music - Art - Craft - Singing - Games - Making Friends - Day Trips
We try to be very flexible and choose badges that will help the girls gain confidence, learn new skills and have fun!
A typical evening would include a mixture of games, badgework and devotional time
Why do we wear a uniform?
A uniform makes us show that we belong to a world-wide organisation and are proud to belong to that organisation. It also encourages us to look neat and presentable.
Why only girls?
Sometimes it's good to be just with other girls. Some girls feel more comfortable and relate better in a girls-only environment. Boys may not like some of the activities we do. For boys, there is Boys' Brigade, which has the same ideals and a similar program to GB. At Belfairs we also have a BB company that is open for Boys to join. Click here for details
