The Object of The Boys’ Brigade is the advancement of Christ’s kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness.

The current Highland Battalion Boys’ Brigade was established in 1999 and currently has 11 Companies across the Highlands.

We have faith in young people and provide opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun and caring environment which is rooted in the Christian faith.

There’s something for every young person whether it’s camping or kayaking, first aid or five a side, music or crafts. Members develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and are encouraged to make a real difference in their communities – sharing the values that make us who we are.

Our work is split into age groups as follows:

• Anchors: for children in Primary 1 to Primary 3 (5 to 8 year olds)*
• Juniors: for children in Primary 4 to Primary 6 (8 to 11 year olds)
• Company Section: for young people in Primary 7 to Secondary 3 (11 to 15 year olds)
• Seniors: for young people in Secondary 4 to Secondary 6 (15 to 18 year olds)

* Note:  Ages for joining vary from group to group, please check with your local group.

The Boys’ Brigade membership is open to all young people. The Battalion has over 300 children, young people and leaders spread throughout the Highland area.
