The bible says that:

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love has many definition. it could simply be encouraging your fellow friends when they are down, giving advices or even lending a listening ear.

-About GB

The Girls' Brigade as it is known today, is the union of three Christian organisations for girls:
- all sister organisations of the the Boy's Brigade
- The Girls' Brigade, The Girls' Guildry and The Girls' Life Brigade
All three organisations 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 and through self-control, reverence 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

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 until it 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 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 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 bong 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
