What is the Boys’ Brigade
The Boys’ Brigade is the oldest Christian Youth organisation in the World. It was founded in 1883 by William Alexander Smith in Glasgow. His ideas were so successful they spread first across the UK then the World.
Today, the Boys’ Brigade recognises the needs of youth and aims to channel their energy and enthusiasm positively. Though the Brigade has changed in many way over the years, we still hold true to our Object.
We are one of the biggest Christian Youth Organisations in the UK & Republic of Ireland.
We are committed to seeing lives enriched by supporting children and young people to reach their full potential by providing opportunities to meet together and engage in a range of fun and developmental activities and experiences.
There’s something for every young person whether it’s camping or games, first aid or five a side. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities – sharing the values that make us who we are.
The Object

Our Company
