Explorers

Explorers...

Age: 4 - 7 yrs

The Explorers explore spiritual, physical, educational and service aspects of a theme. The main emphasis is on fun and enjoyment as they learn to work and play together.

Explorers are the youngest age group in Girls’ Brigade. Like school, girls are grouped into sections according to their age on 1st July. Some companies run the Explorers section from age three to seven years old and some companies run their Explorers from age five to seven years old and have a separate Under 5s section for their three and four year olds. This is at the company’s discretion.

Girls must be three years old before they can join GB. Girls may join either when they have had their third birthday or the September following their third birthday. Some companies only take new starts in September whilst others will take girls throughout the year as soon as they turn three. Please check this with the local leaders of your chosen company.

Activities for Explorers may vary from company to company but here's an idea of the type of thing they can enjoy:

- Learning about Jesus
- Playing games
- Painting & craft
- Special outings
- Singing
- Dressing up
- Dancing
- Making friends

The other sections meet at the same time so that they can share common elements of the programme, such as games, crafts, devotions, etc. The rest of the evening is spent following a syllabus of spiritual, physical, educational and service subjects.

From time to time, special events and competitions are organised for the companies in Edinburgh Division or in Scotland.
