The Boys' Brigade: Glasgow Battalion

The Boys' Brigade was founded in Glasgow, Uk and celebrated it's 125th anniversary in 2008. 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 The Boys' Brigade Motto is: 'Sure & Steadfast' The motto is taken from the bible, the book of Hebrews, Chapter 6, Verse 19.
