The reason why I joined GB is that I hope to join a uniformed group as I had been performing in Performing Arts CCA only during Primary School. I hope to experience the thrill, fun, excitement and the drills. Since primary school, I had been watching girls in Girls' Brigade marching to and fro and it seems quite interesting. The best part about Girls' Brigade is when we are doing our drill practices. Drill practices can help us to pay attention and train our minds to memorise all the Malay commands as well as to move correctly and smartly. Singspiration helps us to relax and spend time together. Whereas camping helps us to learn to be independent. It also enables us to enjoy looking at school in the night with the campfire glowing brightly.

I join Girls' Brigade because I want to learn more about christian songs, verses from the Bible and more about God. I was in Girls' Brigade in Primary School but I quit at Primary 5 because I had BP mentoring on the same day and time. So, I wanted to continue joining Girls' Brigade in Secondary School. My sister is also in Girls' Brigade, so she persuaded me to join. Girls' Brigade also teaches me to be mature, and to have healthy attitude. I enjoy Henderson's GB church, ' Wow! Gals! ', which teaches me about facial care and the dangers of plastic surgery. I was shown how Michael Jackson looked before, and how he became white because of several bleaching as well as plastic surgery.

I join the Girls' Brigade because it is partly the school decision and partly my own. I was a GB girl in Primary School. I join GB as my parents advised me to do so. From GB, I could learn more about christianity. I like GB for the drills, camps and other activities.

-Linda Soh Wei Ling 1E1

In Gb, I learn that we should forgive people when they know their mistakes and I learn about God's love. I learn to be honest to people and to respect people older than I. I learn that we should not have boyfriend at our age because it will distract us from our studies. In addition, we are too young to fall in love.
I love to go to the "Wow gals" session because I learn to take good care of my face and I love to listen to what Miss Chua teaches because her talks are very useful.

I like to be a GB girl because I think that GB is fun and interesting. I have learnt alot of things. When I was in primary school, I was also in Gb. I love drills! I want to learn more about drills. I love to march especially during the night! Haha! I also want to learn more about God! I get along well with the other GB girls. As well as the teachers and officers.
I have learnt new songs and drills. I also like to go campings. GB girls treat me very well.
I want to be in GB company because I want to learn to be in GB company because I want to learn more about 'Jesus' and to make new friends. I like the songs and game organised by GB.
I also like the officers! But sometimes, they are very fierce! I am scared of the officers when they get angry!

-Tham Xue Ting 1N2

I have joined Girls' Brigade for more than one year. Although it is my 2nd choice CCA, I am now happy to be a GB girl. At first, I was not happy with it because I do not know most members and GB is a christian CCA and I'm not a christian. I wanted to quit but the teacher in charge told me to try. In the end if I really wanted to quit, the teacher will then reconsider. After a few months, I started to like GB because I get to know my peers who are all very friendly. I also know that not only christians can join this CCA. We are not forced to believe in Jesus, it is our own wish. Now, I am happy to be a GB girl and I will try my best to teach my juniors and uphold the name of my CCA "Girls' Brigade"!

Some tips:
Vinegar functions:- clean your porcelain surfaces at home with *(mix 250ml of warm water + 1 tsp of lemon juice/vinegar)- just learn that u can use vinegar to prevent your clothes color from LUP SEH

Cures for PMT (premenstrual tensions) pains- try herbal tea with low caffeine- take Evening Primose oil- Rub lavender oil into temples to relieve headaches- drink more water- reduce consumption of sugar, fat, salt, caffeine and alcohol to reduce bloating, fatigue and tension....above all if all these things does not work. Again! you can pray in Jesus's Name... i tried it and it works, how about u?

Smelly Shoes?- teabag deodorant "dont have to get those ex ex shoes deodorant just simply put an unused teabag into your shoes to absorb the dampness and smell" Tip: can do that for your phone too!

GB 61st Henderson Enrolment Service 16 July 06

Humility--- Serve the People...

What is your definition of humility is?
To me is really humble yourself to serve other people... Jesus did that. He washed the feet of His disciples. Do you feel humble when you are asking money from the church members? Or do you feel that these money should be given to you? Don't take it for granted! There is reason why we are doing this... is to learn how to humble ourselves through serving. If you had missed it... maybe is good to take a look at how you can serve people that is around you in order not to miss this lesson of humility.

i'm very encourage by the enthusiasm that our girls have... i really felt that all of you did a great job! Especially all the seniors you have been really guiding and teaching the juniors to learn how to approach.. i really hope that the sec 1s have more confidence and boldness to approach ppl next time hee hee there will be more to come! Be prepared bah...

guess the person behind the tin? Prizes to be given out...

The Girls' Brigade as it is known today,
is the union of three Christian organisations for girls
- all sister organisations of the Boys' Brigade
- The Girls' Brigade, The Girls' Guildry and The Girls' Life Brigade.

All three organizations provided training to develop mind, body and spirit and to inculcate a sense of responsibility through useful Christian service.

Our Motto
Seek, Serve and Follow Christ

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

Our Mission for the 21st Century

Developing each girl and officer to her fullest potential
by equipping, empowering and enabling
Every Girl to be a Leader, and
Every Officer, a Servant Leader

our badge

Each symbol of The Girls' Brigade adds to its total meaning of LOVE -

THE LAMP is likened to our lives - empty, it is useless; filled but left unlit it is simply an ornament. It must be set alight. We have the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, but as with the oil, the spark of God's love is needed to set us alight.

"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105

THE FLAME OF LOVE will then shine out from the Lamp - God's Love shines out through us to others.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

THE CROSS is at the centre. The Lamp is at the foot of the Cross where we begin to live as Christians. Looking up at the Cross we are reminded that God's Love for us is so great that He gave His Son to die for us.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

THE RED BACKGROUND helps us to remember that Jesus' blood was shed that we might be cleansed from our sins.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10

THE CIRCLE signifies God's encircling Love. To remain in that Circle we must forgive and accept others. To keep that Circle complete we each have a place in it, being loyal to God, to His Church, and to one another.

"For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ." 1 Corinthians 12:12

THE TORCH OF ENDEAVOUR at the top of the Badge becomes a reality if Flames of Love burn brightly in the lives of all Brigaders.

"... with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:2-3

THE CROWN which supports the Torch reminds us whom we serve - no one less than the King of Kings who promises a Crown of Life to those who are faithful to Him.

"... Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." Revelations 2:10

our programme

The Programme of The Girls' Brigade is concerned with the SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL, EDUCATIONAL and SOCIAL development of members. It is based on Luke 2:52 "Jesus advanced in wisdom (educationally) and stature (physically) and in favour with God (spiritually) and man (socially)."

Educational Physical

* widening interests
* cultivating meaningful pursuits
* improving knowledge and skills
* developing physical skills
* participating in games & physical activities
* learning to care for themselves

Spiritual Social

* learning and understanding Christ's way of life
* seeking, servicing and following the Lord Jesus Christ
* understanding oneself in relation to others
* learning and being of service to Home, Church, Community, Country and World

our companies

The Girls' Brigade is an evangelical arm of the Church. Most of the girls joining THE BRIGADE come from non-Christian backgrounds. THE BRIGADE CAN and DOES provide an effective means for the Church to reach out to the girls and their families.

As a Christian movement, The Girls' Brigade is part of the Church family. Where possible, the Officers of a Company affiliated to a local Church should worship in that Church and the members encouraged to attend Sunday School/Bible Classes and Worship Services.

The Congregation as the corporate body of the Church needs to be made aware of the AIM of THE BRIGADE and the role it plays in the MISSION of the Church. It is important that the Chaplain and the Captain take time to share with the Congregation the need to support the work of The Brigade Company through their prayers and every practical means.

School-Based Companies
Among the school-based Companies, some are found in Mission Schools and some in Non-Mission Schools. Those in Non-Mission Schools need to be affiliated to Churches, the Ministers of which, have agreed to have the Companies under their pastoral care. The Ministers take on the Chaplaincy of the Companies.
