Boys Brigade

The Boys’ Brigade is a Christian Youth Organisation which has existed nationally since 1883, and at Stockton Baptist Church since the late 1940’s.

We have faith in young people and provide opportunities for children and young people to learngrow 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 are encouraged to develop skills, build confidence, make friends, take responsibility and make a real difference in their communities – sharing the values that make us who we are.

Our work with children and young people is made possible thanks to our volunteer leaders who give of their time so generously.

Our Motto

‘Sure & Steadfast’

Taken from the bible, the book of Hebrews, Chapter 6, Verse 19.

Our Objective

“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.”

Boys’ Brigade at Stockton Baptist Church

“BB” at Stockton Baptist Church is designated as the 16th Teesside Company.

We provide activities from age 4 to 18, split into four sections (Anchors, Juniors, Company and Seniors). Boys are encouraged to complete all aspects of the BB badge work, up to Queens Badge level. This is the highest of the BB awards, which is well respected in community and business.

The Company also provide outdoor activities through the year, in the form of holiday/activity weekends and an annual week-long canvas camp. This gives the boys an opportunity to let off steam in the outdoors, away from their school environment.

Meeting Times

Meetings will be held each Monday in school term time as follows:

Drum practice: 6:00pm -6:30pm Once each month for Juniors only (check diary for details)

Junior section: 6:30pm – 7:45pm

Company / Seniors: 7:15pm – 9:00pm
