The girls of Sandymount Presbyterian Church, Dublin had met as usual for their singing practice. Ms Margaret Lyttle was their conductor. The day of the annual Sabbath School meeting was approaching. There were songs to be learned and words as well as music to be rehearsed. Somehow, on this occasion, the singers seemed to be feeling the cold. Perhaps the wind blowing from Dublin Bay nearby was harsher than usual that day. At any rate, Ms Lyttle though that some physical drill would warm up the members of the group. The effect was immediate. The idea caught on. The girls were delighted and soon began to ask that this drill should in future be a regular part of their Saturday program. Apparently, some of the girls told their brothers in The Boys' Brigade about this drill and on an afternoon in early October one girl suggested that the singers should call themselves THE GIRLS' BRIGADE. In this spontaneous way the name of a great world-wide organization arose. Ms Lyttle could scarcely have imagined that the G.B. would in years to come, be represented in each of the five continents by flourishing companies of girls from many nations. In 1964, after lengthy negotiations, a press statement was issued on Thursday 25th June, to record that agreement in principle had been reached to amalgamate The Girls' Life Brigade, The Girls' Guildry and The Girls' Brigade (all sister organizations of The Boys' Brigade) into one organization called "THE GIRLS' BRIGADE" The newly formed Girls' Brigade became a much greater International organization. The first Brigade International Council (B.I.C.) was held in Netherlands College, London in September 1968. The following were listed as member countries: Australia, England & Wales, Ghana, Ireland, Jamaica & Grand Cayman, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Rhodesia, Samoa, Scotland, Singapore.
