WHERE WE STARTEDThe Boys' Brigade was founded in Glasgow on 4th October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith. From this one Company formed in Scotland the BB has grown in to a world wide movement having worked with millions of children and young people for well over a century.
FIRST FOR BOYSYou can also read more detail about the BB's history in "First for Boys", a book detailing the history of The Boys' Brigade. The book was prepared for the centenary in 1983. To read First for Boys go to:

The book 'First for Boys' is for the BB Boys of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Boys of yesterday will recall many of the events described here, perhaps through rose-coloured spectacles! The Boys of today must make the Brigade of tomorrow, and the Boys of the new and unknown BB century should be proud to learn of their roots.
The book is but a glimpse of the Movement which was and is 'First for Boys'.
'First for Boys' was written by Donald M. McFarlan
