Senior Circle Award

Seniors are awarded a circle, presented for the completion of 4 subjects, 1 from each section of the PSALT programme, in Spiritual, Physical, Education and Service.  This would normally take 1 Brigade year. There are 3 Circle Awards, each distinguished by the number of segments:

Circles are presented in sequence. A girl in her first year in the Senior Section will work for her 1st circle, regardless of age.  Similarly a girl in her second year in the Seniors works for her 2nd Senior circle, and in the third year in the Seniors, the 3rd Senior circle. 

A certificate may also optionally be awarded on the successful completion of individual topics; Spiritual, Physical, Educational, and Service.  Company Captains can purchase these from the online shop at www.gbnishop.co.uk in the GB Publications/Company Stationery/Certificates section.
