The Boys' Brigade (BB) is an international non-denominational Christian youth organization. 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."
History
The first Boys' Brigade company was set up by Sir (then still Mr.) William Alexander Smith on 4 October, 1883 at Free Church Mission Hall, North Woodside Road, Glasgow, Scotland to develop 'Christian manliness' by the use of a semi-military discipline and order, gymnastics, summer camps and religious services and classes.
In the years following the establishment of the 1st Glasgow company, others were rapidly formed throughout Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom leading to a movement comprising thousands of boys: in the early 20th century there were about 2200 companies connected with different churches throughout the United Kingdom, the British empire and the United States, with 10,000 officers and 100,000 boys. Each company is normally affiliated to a Battalion encompassing several nearby companies, which in turn are organized at a district and then national level.
