The Boys' Brigade (BB) is a Christian Youth Organisation, with over half a million members world-wide. The BB offers a wide range of activities including Games, Crafts, Sports, Christian Teaching, Music and Holidays.
Object
"The advancement of Christ's kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness."
The Boys' Brigade:
Develops a boy's awareness of his own community and creates opportunities for service.
Develops latent leadership qualities so that boys become contributors to the life of their community - not just takers.
Encourages boys to get involved in their Company, their Church and the community, and this involvement means taking responsibility for what happens.
Does not confine itself to well motivated and properous young people. It offers support and interest to the less fortunate and recognises the value of adult interest as young people develop.
Is Staffed by unpaid officers with only a small core of full time staff. The officers give of their time to provide the activities within our local unit - the Company, which itself is part of the local Church.
Each company is split into a number of sections. To find out more about how each section operates follow the appropriate links below:
- Cabin Boys - for boys aged 4+
- Anchor Boys - for Boys aged 6 - 8 years
- Junior Section - for Boys aged 8 - 11 years

- Senior Section - for young men aged 15 - 18 years
