BB Motto ‘Sure and Stedfast’
Hebrews 6:19
Boys Brigade exists for ‘The advancement of Christ’s Kingdom among boys’ and the promotion of the habits of obedience, reverence, discipline, self-respect, and all the other things that tend towards transforming them into true, Christian men. This is our objective.
Paul the Apostle states six virtues of men: Righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. None of these can come about by accident. BB exists to advance Christ’s Kingdom among boys, by promoting positive skills, habits, and attitudes in a practical setting.
Adventure, exploration, ‘survival’, self-sufficiency, teamwork, making, orienteering, camping, first aid… these are all valuable skills on their own. Together, they cultivate leadership, teamwork, resilience, discipline, and confidence—the making of Christian men who have learned love and respect.
The programme is run through weekly evening meetings, indoors and out, various excursions as well as camping and annual regional events. As the boys mature, they are given national opportunities, expeditions and even snow camps.
