The 1st Loughborough Company a uniformed organisation that enjoys activities like camp inter-company Tournaments and life skills etc
The Boys' Brigade has been around for over 125 years and in 2008 we celebrated
our 125th Anniversary. Our Founder Sir William Alexander Smith, included in our
Object "The Promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect
and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness" and that has not been
changed.
What has changed is how we go about promoting that object. We recognise that the influences surrounding our young people are not always helpful and that too many lose control at great cost to themselves, their families and the community. The answer is to catch the energy and enthusiasm of youth and to channel it purposefully.
