Our History

The BB has a long history and many items have been produced over the years to assist and support our cause. Some of these are mundane whilst some are now historical and collectors items.

We will be adding to this page as further items come to light.

1897 Enrolment card The first of three cards, this one dating from the end of Queen Victoria's reign.
1901 Enrolment card King Edward the 7th is now on the throne and is depicted on the front of this card.
1904 Enrolment card This card shows the familiar Anchor, but without the red cross that is present on today's emblem.
The Enrolment Object All of the above cards contained an extract from the Constitution and a copy of the BB object. But this version shows just how the Brigade roots were entwined with the Military and it's way of thinking. The BB has evolved over the years, but some aspects still owe their existence to these original ideals.
Centenary Civic Reception and Dinner. In 1983 the Boys Brigade celebrated it's 100th Birthday. And locally the Town Hall hosted a Civic celebration and meal in Honour. This is the front cover of the Menu for the event.
