Mitcham Baptist Church

The Girls’ Brigade is part of an international Christian youth organisation which supports family, serves the community and meets the needs of girls today operating through local churches.

The programme covers a wide range of activities which help the physical, mental and spiritual growth of the girls. Starting with a simple scheme, the programme develops into a wider sphere of work, leading onto a full range of subjects and projects including the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen’s Award (the highest award in Girls’ Brigade). These present an exciting challenge to the older teenagers. Girls are also encouraged to take part in Leadership training within the Brigade.
