The Boys' Brigade (often abbreviated to 'BB') is one of the biggest Christian Youth Organisations in the UK & Republic of Ireland.  It also operates in many other countries around the world.  We are committed to seeing lives enriched by supporting children and young people to reach their full potential.  We achieve this by providing opportunities to meet together and engage in a range of fun and developmental activities and experiences.

 

There’s something for every young person whether it’s camping or kayaking, first aid or five a side. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities – sharing the values that make us who we are.

 

The BB was founded in Glasgow in Scotland in 1883 and quickly grew to become a truly international organisation.  You can read more about the history of the BB on our main website, here.

 

In the UK, the Boys' Brigade operates two training centres; Felden Lodge in England (pictured below), which is also our UK and Ireland HQ, and Carronvale House in Scotland. The centres are used extensively throughout the year for BB training and events as well as by external groups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1st Saffron Walden Boys' Brigade Company was established in 1980 at Saffron Walden Baptist Church.  Since then the company has retained a strong membership and a dedicated group of staff.  We are a very active company and take part in competitions and local events.  Our older boys attend a summer camp and undertake expeditions both locally and further afield.  All age groups experience a wide ranging group of activities.  We work hard to ensure the activities we organise are age specific.  We operate a safe and friendly environment and apply the latest safeguarding procedures to ensure the safety of the young people we work with is always our first priority.

 

You can find out more on the pages on this website, in particular in the pages on 'Age Groups' and 'Members'.  If you have a question about out BB company, please do contact us.
