Boys Brigade
The Boys’ Brigade (or BB for short) is an organisation designed to give boys and young men something interesting, challenging and fun to do.
Our organisation was
started in Glasgow over 100 years ago, and today Companies just like ours can be
found all round the World!
The BB has a badge, just like your favourite football team, and as you can see
it's an anchor. Our motto, “SURE AND STEADFA5T”, is written on the anchor.
The aim of the BB is “the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom among boys and the
promotion of habits of Obedience, Discipline, Reverence, Self-Respect and all
that tends towards a true Christian Manliness”. That means that we want young
men to grow up knowing about Jesus, to know how to behave properly, and to be
proud of themselves. If everyone could do that then the world would be a much
nicer place to live in. However, we want you to have fun as you learn! How do we
do it? Read on to find out!
What activities do we do?
