It' been great to hear how BB groups that have attended previous workshops have been getting on... ⚓️

“We tried the taster night as suggested at the Growth Workshop in Dundee. We handed out leaflets, ran a social media campaign, had one school assembly and the school then made sure every parent got a very supportive email . Over both sessions 18 young people came along for their first time and we had over 50 young people attending a Friday night for the first time in years. The majority seem to want to come back which is superb."

Martin Hawkins
Leader, 3rd Perth

This weekend we're excited to be heading to Livingston in West Lothian to kick off the next in our series of Growth Workshops 🙌

These sessions will focus on supporting and inspiring BB groups to grow, by equipping them with guidance, tools and resources to help them review their current position, identify opportunities and create action plans.

Over the course of November we'll be holding workshops in Durham, Essex, West London, North Ayrshire, West Lothian and Inverness, with around 150 leaders from over 70 different groups set to be a part of them!

Here's what some of the attendees of our previous workshops had to say...

"We tried the Taster Night as suggested at the Growth Workshop in Dundee. We handed out leaflets, ran a social media campaign, had one school assembly and the school then made sure every parent/carer got a very supportive email. Over both sessions 18 young people came along for their first time and we had over 50 young people attending a Friday night for the first time in years. The majority seem to want to come back which is superb." (Martin Hawkins, Leader, 3rd Perth)

"We did two events using the Bring a Friend framework and approach and overall we are most pleased that we have six additional members in our Company age group." (Gary Marsh, Leader, 1st Cheslyn Hay)

Please pray for the sessions that will be taking place, and for the work being done by BB groups across the country as they seek to reach even more children and young people and provide them with opportunities to experience "life to the full" (John 10:10) 🙏

On his birthday we remember and celebrate today the incredible legacy of our Founder - Sir William Alexander Smith⚓

On 27th October 1854 Sir William Alexander Smith, Founder of The Boys' Brigade, was born in Pennyland House, in Thurso on the north coast of Scotland.

Today, 172 years later, we celebrate Sir William's life and legacy, and give thanks for his vision which has grown into a worldwide movement - inspiring generations of young people to discover their potential, develop their skills, make a positive difference in their communities and encounter the Christian faith 🙌

We also give thanks for every leader who invests their time in the next generation, continuing to carry Sir William's vision forward through The Boys' Brigade ⚓
