Bringing adventure and faith to young people
NATIONAL CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
The Boys’ Brigade has long been associated with sport, particularly Football, as a means to enjoy and lead a healthy lifestyle. Today there are a number of national clubs and activities that individuals, companies and battalions can sign up to.

Our supporters come from far and wide. From former members who now live abroad to politicians and local businesses to large football/soccer clubs, the people and organisations that support us is always appreciated.

A GLOBAL FELLOWSHIP
Committed to Enriching the Lives of Youth across the world
Whilst the Boys’ Brigade started in Glasgow, it has impacted a large number of Youths on a global scale.
We may be familiar with the efforts of the Boys’ Brigade in Commonwealth countries but our organisation has helped carve out youth work further afield. Ever been to Wisconsin? Well it has the largest BB group in the entire world.
As part of the Global BB movement, we are provided with a range of opportunities that allow our members to work with those in other groups across the world. We are all connected so much so as a local group, we regularly follow and keep in touch with others at home and abroad.
ONAWAY ISLAND, WISCONSIN, USA
On January 22, 1900, the Boys’ Brigade was formed at First Presbyterian Church, Neenah. One year later a Mr. S.F. Shattuck took over the Brigade leadership and in 1910 purchased Onaway Island for the young people of Fox Valley to experience camping.
