The Boys' Brigade

Cabin Boys

Description of Activities

Cabin Boys is the first step into the Boys’ Brigade. We provide a small group environment with all of the activities. The well-designed programme specifically targets the needs of this age group and succeeds in total engagement of the child. The programme therefore includes special theme nights, play-time, stories, music and crafts. Boys of all abilities, gifts and talents are welcome and special needs are catered for. We want to show these young boys the love of Christ during a fun-packed and fully interactive evening.

Company Section

Description of Activities

The Boys’ Brigade is a Christian uniformed organisation for boys that offers a programme of fun activities designed to educate, challenge and inspire young people in an environment of Christian teaching.

“The advancement of Christ’s kingdom and the promotion of habits of obedience, reverence, discipline and self-respect and all that tends to true Christian manliness.”

The Boys’ Brigade resists the temptation to live in the past because its function is to serve today’s young people. In our company this is achieved through a range of well planned activities which include bible study, drill/marching, badge work and games. The boys also have free time to play sports of their own choosing.

Target Group: Boys 11-18 years
When: Every Wednesday 7:15-9:45pm
Special Events: Prize Giving, trips to Dundonald, Cinema, Swimming pool and BB Adventure week-end
Leader: John Crealey
