Objectives and activities

The Object of the Brigade shall be 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.

Structure, governance and management

We are governed by the constitution of the Boys Brigade.

Achievements and performance

Throughout the year we have taken part in various competitions run by the Battalion in each section although due to low numbers and a lack of consistency of boys attending our participation has been restricted.

We have had a steady flow of boys for the past couple of years but still finding it difficult to recruit in the current climate.

Financial review

Throughout the year we have donated to The Local Foodbank and the church.

Future plans

We plan to increase our social media presence and to keep publishing our meeting night to retain existing members and to encourage new members to join our company.
