West London Battalion
The world's longest-serving church-based uniformed youth organisation
WHO ARE WE?
-
The Boys’ Brigade, or The BB as we’re often known, is a Christian church-based uniformed organisation for Boys aged 5 to 18.
-
Individual BB groups are called Companies, and some are also able to welcome Girls.
-
Every BB Company is attached to a Christian Church.
-
All BB Companies are run by DBS-approved volunteer staff, many of whom also served as children in The BB.
-
BB Companies meet weekly during term-time to enjoy games, activities, sports, and useful life-lessons, including leadership training, in a safe, happy environment, giving encouragement, inspiration, guidance and support to our members.
-
Some BB Companies are able to offer additional activities, such as camping, gymnastics, marching band, water sports, and Duke of Edinburgh training.
-
We work with our Churches to help every child attain their full potential, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
-
BB Companies in West London, and in London generally, often work together for larger events and competitions.
-
