The Brigade witnesses to the standard set by Jesus Christ and gives positive teaching on the Christian attitude to life. The Brigade promotes a just society where all people are equally valued.

GB Badge

All over the world, Girls’ Brigade members wear the same badge. The badge has 4 main elements, each with a special meaning to those who wear it.

In the centre a Cross, the symbol of Christ and His Church. Below it a Lamp, that our light may shine out upon the world.

Above the Lamp is a Crown, that we may own Christ as our King. Behind all a Torch, the flame of Christ’s living Spirit and our devotion to Him.

The following age groups meet:

* Anchor Boys – for Boys aged 5 to 8 years from 7-8pm

More about the BB

Each week The Boys’ Brigade works with thousands of young people, many of whom have no other connection with the Church. Today we are working with over 60,000 children & young people in over 1500 companies (groups) in the UK & Republic of Ireland every week.

The Boys’ Brigade provides a balanced programme of activities for children and young people from 5 to 18 years old. These resources have been developed to help volunteer youth leaders work in a relevant and creative way. We hope through these programmes they will be able to make a positive contribution to a young person’s life and be able to share their faith.

Our work is split into age groups as follows:

* Anchor Boys – for Boys aged 5 to 8 years
* Junior Section – for Boys aged 8 to 11 years
* Company Section – for Boys aged 11 to 18 years

Where have we come from?

The Boys’ Brigade has been around for 125 years and in 2008 we are celebrating our 125th Anniversary. Our Founder Sir William Alexander Smith, included in our Object “The Promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness” and that has not been changed.

What has changed is how we go about promoting that object. We recognise that the influences surrounding our young people are not always helpful and that too many lose control at great cost to themselves, their families and the community. The answer is to catch the energy and enthusiasm of youth and to channel it purposefully.
Our Object

The Object of The Boys’ Brigade is:

“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.”

Our Motto & Emblem

Anchor The Boys’ Brigade Motto is:
‘Sure & Steadfast’

The motto is taken from the bible, the book of Hebrews, Chapter 6, Verse 19.
