Be a Leader!
The Boys' Brigade is the largest and oldest uniformed Christian youth organisation in the UK, working to develop young people socially and emotionally towards mature adulthood.
Whether you can spare a couple of hours a week or a day a month, helping young people is one of the most rewarding things you can do with your spare time! And not only will you be helping young people, you will also get the chance to develop your own skills and learn new ones.
What's Needed
We need: leaders to work with our young people on a weekly basis; reserve leaders who are available to help out occasionally; event organisers; public relations gurus – whatever they are, we can put your skills to good use!
Support and training are provided, so don’t worry that you don’t know everything (or anything) about Boys’ Brigade – if you have the enthusiasm we can help you with the rest!
Our Battalion
Our Battalion comprises 9 companies, covering Perth City, Bankfoot, Blairgowrie, Kinross and Scone.
Most companies operate 3 sections: Anchor Boys (for ages 5 to 7); Junior Section (for ages 8 to 10); and Company Section (for ages 11 to 18).
