The boys brigade is an evangelistic outreach whose object is “The advancement of Christ’s kingdom among boys, and the promotion of all that tends towards a true Christian manliness”. Thus it takes a holistic approach to boys, seeking to develop them spiritually and in other ways. An award scheme provides motivation for progression and is structured around the areas of leadership, adventure, physical, interests, and community service.

Future Plans if we have sufficient leaders I would plan to be more involved in work with other companies so that boys see the ‘bigger’ picture, and that they are not the only BB company around. I’d also like to raise awareness of international issues by use of material developed by the BB International team. Currently our annual camp has been to sites in Northern Ireland, I’d love to eventually end up taking the boys abroad, but that’s several years down the line yet.

Operates: 2nd week in September to shortly before Christmas. We usually have a break of 2-3 weeks over Christmas before resuming in early January. Our display is around two weeks before Easter and finishes the programme for Anchor Boys. Junior Section and Company Section continue for a few weeks after the display.

Regular events: Junior Section weekend and Company Section annual camp.
