Happy Founder`s Day!!!

Sir William Alexander Smith founded the Boys` Brigade on 4 October 1883 when he found a company of 35 members at Free Church Mission Hall, North Woodside Road, Glasgow. It was the first of all uniformed organised for boys, which has now spread all over the world.

Sir William Smith was a businessman, part-time soldier and Sunday school teacher. he deised a unique system of giving boys an organisation as part of the church based on religion and discipline. Initially, 59 boys joined, many out of curiosity but only 35 of them stayed. Simple forms of drill, gymnastics and games were introduced and these proved very popular. Other activities were soon added and in 1886 the first Boys` Brigade camp was held in Tighnabruaich. It was, in fact , the starting of camping for young people .

Hope all Members, Officers, Old Boys and Supporters
of the Boys` Brigade a Happy Founders` Day!

God Bless You.
