The Girls’ Brigade has been empowering young people around the world for over 130 years! The International Presidents’ Committee (IPC) recognises that this is not possible without the tireless dedication and selfless service of thousands of volunteers on a weekly basis who work to ensure GB remains a relational, relevant and responsive organisation. The IPC would like to honour this through the 2026 Trailblazer Awards, open to members and leaders at all levels of the organisation.
