Girls’ Brigade is a Non-Profit Organisation (NFP), and we keep our fees as low as we can to ensure no girl misses out because her family can’t afford the cost.
There are three (3) components to the ANNUAL Girls’ Brigade fee that families pay at a Girls’ Brigade Group level for a year of Girls’ Brigade:
- The Girls’ Brigade Australia fee: This component goes to Girls’ Brigade Australia, and pays for things like insurance, training and resources for the volunteer leaders. A percentage of this component also supports the work of The Girls’ Brigade Pacific Fellowship, to which Australia belongs, Girls’ Brigade Worldwide.
- The Girls’ Brigade State fee: this annual fee varies from state to state. The Company Captain will be able to tell you how much it is.
- The Company/Group Fee: this also varies depending on the company/group. This component pays for things like resources for the girls’ achievements (paint, craft activities, cooking ingredients etc.). All Girls’ Brigade companies/groups meet in church buildings, so a small part of this component may go to the church to pay for photocopying and other support services the church may assist with.
- Extra-curricular/ extraordinary activities – These activities are all optional and usually come at an extra cost. This can include: excursions, overnight stays, camps etc..
Girls’ Brigade companies/groups in South Australia have ANNUAL fees (which includes all 3 components above) of $250 or less. That is amazing value. Compare this is $20+ per HOUR for music lessons, to $400 PER season for some sporting activities, and Girls’ Brigade is a very affordable activity!
Girls’ Brigade is a uniformed organisation. The Uniform for girls consists of a pink polo-shirt and navy blue sash. The girls may wear any navy coloured pants/skirts/skorts/shorts with the polo-shirt and sash. Volunteer leaders wear a navy polo-shirt and navy pants/skirt.
- Uniform details can be found at our shop. Some companies/groups may have 2nd hand uniform for sale. Enquires can be made through Company Captains.
