The Boys' Brigade (BB) was founded in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1883 as a uniformed youth organisation. Today, the movement has spread across the globe with over half a million members worldwide.

The BB in Singapore was founded on 12 January 1930. We employ a holistic approach in the development of youths. Through our programme, we hope for our youths to be world-ready, with the passion to act on their dreams and to serve and care for the community.

Boys and Youths discover more about themselves, overcome challenges and broaden their perspectives through our exciting outdoor adventure activities, meaningful community projects and enrichment programmes. Increasingly, the emphasis is on leadership development, team building, life skills, adventure activities and community service.

The BB members' experiential learning journey takes place in three specially designed programmes, namely Juniors Programme (Primary Schools), Seniors Programme (Secondary Schools) and Primers Programme (Polys, JCs and ITEs).

The BB provides a well-rounded programme that seeks to develop Boys and youths in areas such as Leadership, Personal Mastery, Community Spiritedness and Global Awareness.

Community Service is an important part of the learning journey for members. These events allow our Boys to devote time and energy to brighten up someone's day and to learn the skills that would benefit them in their development.

Since 1988, the BB has been bringing cheer to the less fortunate by collecting food and household items, and fulfilling Christmas wishes of the beneficiaries through The Boys' Brigade Share-a-Gift. These gift items reach out to some 40,550 beneficiaries for general wishes for grocery and household items.

Annually, we mobilise more than 3,500 BB Officers and Boys, and hundreds of volunteers to buy and deliver gifts for distribution to the needy in Singapore. It is a unique project, as donors have to go beyond purely financial giving.
