The Boys’ Brigade is the oldest uniformed youth group in the world and was formed in 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith. The BB was brought to Singapore in 1930 by Mr James Milner Fraser, CBE, who was an architect from Britain and a former member of the 23rd Aberdeen and 33rd London Companies.

The Object of The Boys' Brigade is 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, including integrity and love.

The text has remained the same except for addition in 1893 of the word obedience. In practice, the Object means:

 To help Boys develop and grow in Christian character

 To train Boys to become loyal and responsible citizens

 To promote Boys’ physical fitness and develop their leadership potential

Programme / Activities	The Gold Award is the highest award a Junior BB Boy can aspire to. Boys have to complete all six colour badges (white, green, purple, blue, red and silver), have an attendance of at least 80% for two years, completed at least 4 hours of CIP as a BB member and participated in The Juniors’ Adventure Quest (conducted by the BBHQ). In the BB there are the activities that we have at brigade (national) level and that we are required to participate in. These are the Character Quest, Juniors Adventure Quest, BB Week, BB CARES and BBSGB. l Character Quest (Competition) A group of Boys will be asked or selected to participate. A portion of the Bible will be selected and the Boys will participate in a competition that will test them on how well they have understood the chosen portion. It is also a competition and the companies will be assessed on their performance. l Juniors Adventure Quest (Competition) P6 Boys who wish to be considered for the Gold badge must participate in this activity. Through a series of adventure type quests (amazing race style), Boys will be tested on what they have learnt in their time in the BB. It is also a competition and the companies will be assessed on their performance. l BB Week (Competition) Boys are given BB Week cards in order to solicit donations. Targets are set to encourage the Boys to do their best. A portion of the funds collected go to the BB and the rest goes to the company. l BB CARES This is an activity that rallies BB Boys (and their community) to serve. It is conducted over a week-end and involves the Boys working with a VWO. More will be made known in due course. l BB Share-A-Gift This is a nation-wide BB initiative to collect food items for the needy. In our company, we collect food items from the school and send them to BBHQ sometime towards the end of the school year l BB Camp This is our annual camp which will be held on 12 and 13 of March.
