Boys’ Brigade

The 3rd Sungai Petani Company of the Boys’ Brigade meet every Saturday at 9am. Here, boys (and girls) aged up to 18 years meet for wholesome activities. The Boys’ Brigade (in short, BB) was founded in Glasglow, Scotland on 4th October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith. It thus became the oldest uniformed youth organisation in the world. Today, the BB is found in over 60 countries. The BB is recognised by Kementerian Belia dan Sukan Malaysia as a youth body and by Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia as a school’s extra co-curricular activity. It’s motto is SURE & STEDFAST.

    Hey Bernard! I can’t believe it! It’s dejavu all over again. I have been a BB boy half of my life, finally stopping at 21 (being a lieutenant then). Many BB companies have since gone defunct. I am glad this one is going strong and I bet Joseph will benefit a lot from it. I certainly did! :-)

    Jimbo, I was in the BB junior section for the whole of 1 year and 9 months!! After that I moved to Bukit Mertajam and didn’t join anymore. My dad is active till now, in Stedfast Association.
