ABOUT THE BOYS BRIGADE
 
 
The Boys' Brigade (BB) is a Christian Youth Organisation, with over half a million members world-wide. The BB offers a wide range of activities including Games, Crafts, Sports, Christian Teaching, Music and Holidays. The first Brough Boys, Brigade Company was formed in 1959. Its first meeting was on the 18th September 1959 and was a group of Boys' from a Hull company. We ran for 2 years before closing due to lack of staff and premises. In the same year, we re-opened in the newly built Brough Methodist Church with a handful of staff and lots of new members. The Churches Girls Brigade Company sadly closed down also due to lack of staff. We opened our doors to girls as well to fill the hole and got some new female members and some of the remaining Girls Brigade Staff. The Company currently has few staff but many helpers/ instructors and friends who have helped our company to survive over many hard years. In 1999 after approx 23 years of service, our then Captain Robert Bramald Lt stepped down and Darren Barker Lt took over. Darren started in the Anchor Boys ('Robins' in our company) and has moved up through the ranks to seniors, gaining his Queens Badge in 1997.
