Boys’ Brigade

Fun, Challenge, Adventure

Young people can and do make powerful contributions to the world right now. Providing fun, challenge and adventure for all school-aged males, Boy's Brigade trains and empowers young people for effective leading & mission impact in their world today. With an unashamedly Christian foundation, Boys’ Brigade has a proven track record for reaching out and providing mentoring programs for boys of all backgrounds, abilities and interests – broadening their horizons and skills with international recognition for their achievements. Boys’ Brigade is first and foremost a training ministry for boys into how to think and live like Christ in their world – regardless of their profession of faith. They become true Christians (Christ-like) when they bear the fruit of Christ (Matt 7:20). Boys’ Brigade is about establishing firm foundations (Matt 7:25), long-term, throughout a boy’s life (from 5-6 years old upwards). That is, we have up to 12 years to anchor their faith firmly. Boys Brigade provides a consistent structured approach to developing them for the long term. So next time someone in the church asks ‘Why Brigade?’ – tell them: long-term training for long term results, and training boys for leading and impacting their world.
