Established over 40 years ago, the 1st Inverurie Company meets at St. Andrews Church Hall, Inverurie every week. An overview of the Boys' Brigade (BB): Each week The Boys' Brigade works with thousands of young people, many of whom have no other connection with the Church. Today we are working with over 60,000 children & young people in over 1500 companies (groups) in the UK & Republic of Ireland e
very week. The Boys' Brigade provides a balanced programme of activities for children and young people from 5 to 18 years old. These resources have been developed to help volunteer youth leaders work in a relevant and creative way. With changes in uniform and a more relaxed, social approach to meetings, the Boys' Brigade is now more accessible to all boys aged 5-19. Boys' Brigade companies are run by volunteer staff and are, in most cases, always connected to a local church, with meetings taking place on Church properties. Discipline is encouraged through Inspections and Drill. In most Boys' Brigade meetings, each company member will attend in full uniform and in a formal ceremony will be inspected on their appearance and attendance of Church and Boys' Brigade meetings. Marks gained are often used towards trophies and awards which are given throughout companies and battalions. The Boys' Brigade uniform has evolved from a traditional, military-based uniform into an increasingly more modern, practical form. Although the uniform once included caps, lanyards and belts, which were to be cleaned and maintained regularly, the day to day uniform is sweaters, schools shoes and trousers.
