The Boys\u2019 Brigade was founded in Glasgow on 4th October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith.\u00a0From this one Company formed in Scotland the BB has grown in to a worldwide movement having worked with millions of children and young people for well over a century. Our Company is the 18th South Shields.<\/p>\n

We are committed to seeing lives enriched by supporting children and young people to reach their full potential by providing opportunities to meet together and engage in a range of fun and developmental activities and experiences.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something for every young person whether it\u2019s camping or kayaking, first aid or five a side. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities \u2013 sharing the values that make us who we are.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
