We’ve had a day of community action in #Dunblane clearing leaves that were making pathways & pavements dangerous. We picked up a fair bit of litter as well. Thank you to all the boys, parents and leaders who took part. #BoysBrigade

Today marks the start of UK Parliament Week, an annual festival that engages people with their UK Parliament, explores what it means to them and empowers them to get involved! If your group is getting involved then let us know what you get up to 👍 #UKPW #BoysBrigade

⚓After registering 25 new members at the start of October, 4th Lossiemouth found themselves in a challenging position and unable to return to their usual venue. It's great, however, to see that they're safely back up and running💙 #StrongerSaferTogether

We know not all of our groups are able to meet face-to-face yet, so our #BBatHOME activity library continues to be available to all - check out nearly 300 activities to keep children and young people entertained at home on our Programme Hub! https://t.co/SDgXTybuFE #BoysBrigade

@1stGlasgowBB @TheBBScotland @theboysbrigade @TheBBGlasgow @SandraWhiteSNP @YouthLinkScot We agree. Our BB boys are a credit to themselves, officers, parents/guardians and we are extremely proud of all the work they do in the community. Almost 125 years in Scone and still going strong.

Today's #FoundersDay and a chance for us to give thanks for the vision and legacy of the life of @theboysbrigade founder Sir William Alexander Smith, born 166 years ago. Thanks to him and countless volunteers, millions of young people have benefitted from membership of the BB

Recognising the achievements of children and young people has remained important over the last few months, with groups adapting to the circumstances by holding virtual awards evenings, doorstep presentations and socially distanced events! #StrongerSaferTogether #BoysBrigade

What is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and how does it impact you?🤔

The #UNCRC describes the commitment your government has made to protect your rights.🙌

It certainly looks a bit different, but it’s GREAT to be back at #BoysBrigade after 6 months off due to covid. We’re all outside this term, socially distanced and wrapped up warm! Big thanks to @dunblane_sc @DiscovrDunblane @dunblaneflng @StirlingBC for help with gazebos & lights

[The Boys' Brigade @theboysbrigade]

We're getting set for our first ever virtual Brigade Conference which is being streamed live from Felden Lodge this afternoon! Get involved and share your experiences from today on social media using #BBConf20
