THE BOYS BRIGADE
TWENTIETH

The Boys' Brigade

The Boys' Brigade is the world's first uniformed organisation for youth, and was started by Sir William Alexander Smith in 1883.

The impact of The Boys’ Brigade led to the establishment of other uniformed organisations: Girls’ Life Brigade (1902), Boy Scouts (1908) and Girl Guides (1910). All these organisations trace their genesis to 1883 and Sir William A. Smith.

In Singapore , the BB has the distinguished patronage of His Excellency, the President of the Republic. It is endorsed by the Ministry of Education as one of the Uniformed Youth Organisations in schools.

BB Objective

The advancement of Christ's Kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian Manliness.

 

The history of 20th Singapore Company

The 20th Singapore Boys’ Brigade sponsoring church is Bethesda Cathedral.
The company is operating in Ping Yi Secondary School since 2000.

Prior to that, the 20 th Company has been a strong and vibrant company with many leaders and captains in the Brigade having spent their youth as a 20 th BB boy. 20 th Coy BB started in Bethesda Frankel Estate Church (BFEC), with members from many schools in the east including Ping Yi Secondary School before officially closing in 1996. The company re-opened at Ping Yi Secondary School in 2000, and we will continue to grow from strength to strength in the coming years.

How Can You Be Involved?

You can be a musician during singspiration, or teach the boys a badgework course such as first aid, or be a sportsman teaching our Boys to play a certain sports.


Most importantly, we need Christians who have a heart to touch the lives of these Boys for Christ.  We believe in Character Building and we hope to shape these lives positively during their most impressionable, teenage years.  Do prayerfully consider, and talk to any one of our BB officers regarding this Ministry.
