The Girls’ Brigade (GB) is a Christian Uniformed organisation that is active in over 60 countries and who’s history goes back nearly 120 years.  GB is led by Christian women who volunteer to help girls face new challenges in an ever demanding world by just having fun and enjoying life.

At the start of the 21st Century we are constantly tackling new challenges so that our organisation can continue to grow well into the future.

1st Bournemouth Company meets at Victoria Park Methodist Church on a Monday evening from 5.30 pm.  During the evening we play games, sing, hear stories and take on lots of different activities to cover our badgework.  We also organise camps and sleepovers, church parades, fundraising activities, as well as days out with other companies within our district.

Take time to browse through our photo album and see what we have been up to.

On this page we ask girls to comment on what they think of GB and what they have enjoyed.

“I really enjoyed making chocolate eggs at Easter.  We made them out of dark chocolate and they were very tasty.”

“I really like drawing pictures to go with our stories and getting sticky making a collage of our church.”
From an Explorer age 5

As part of our badgework last year, we learnt about Junior Mission for All – JMA.  This is a Methodist children’s charity that helps children in poorer countries.

The JMA promise is to learn, pray and serve with the worldwide Church of Jesus Christ.
Each week at GB we have a collecting pot where the girls and their parent can put their odd coins.  We also raised money through a collection at our Annual Display in June.

During the coming year we will continue to support this charity by holding coffee mornings and other events.
