GB Programmes & Awards Including all four programme launches and new awards system. Sept 2011
Why do we give awards / badges? • To say YES! and celebrate • To foster pride and self esteem • To show others (in & out of GB) what the young people have done • Badge designs & how to display reviewed by Trustee Board during 2010/2011 and launched at GB Council July 2011
Pin on badges • Young people receive a pin on badge and if groups wish a certificate to celebrate every n:vestigation, n:gage adventure, n:counta track, n:spire challenge completed • Colourful badges relevant to the subject covered • An n:vestigate/n:gage/n:counta/ • n:spire bar plus badges displayed • as the young people choose on a • shoulder bag
Sticker Books & Journals • n:vestigate & n:gage sticker books - small sticker each week attended, large sticker when completed. • n:counta journal & n:spire journal - space for young person to record & reflect on achievement & mentor to sign rather than assess. • n:spire journal replaces the Brigader Progress Book.
Record Sheets Free to download from www.girlsb.org Go Leader - Sign To be completed and badges ordered direct from GB Trading or follow arrangements in district. For Brigader Brooch, send n:spire record sheet, rather than journal or Brigader Progress Book.
Transitional period • Groups may continue with the old badge system if they prefer and transfer to the new system in September 2012. • It is hoped that the new awards system will be fully in use by September 2013. • All pin badges & service awards will go on shoulder bags instead of armbands. Young Leader Badges, Distinguished Service/ Endurance Awards to be worn on sweatshirt or polo shirt. • When girls move into a new section, their highest star or circle may be put on the bag in place of the ‘bars’. • Current Brigaders preferring to complete their armband using the old system may do so - receiving 3 triangles & the Brigader Brooch by completing 20 n:spire challenges
We hope your young people continue to enjoy the holistic programme GB offers! Visit www.girlsb.org Go Leader or contact gbco@girlsbrigadeew.org.uk for further help and ideas Sept 2011
