Sure and Steadfast.

5th Wishaw.

I got the opportunity to spend some time with my first Company Section Captain, many years later, as he fell into ill health. A wonderful man, and some of the best and educational times of my life.
 
181 Springburn.

Our football team set many records.

Losing to other BB teams by 28-0, 36-0, 14-0 regularly wasn't easy, but somehow we managed to nail it.
 
177 Lifeboys (resplendent with the round navy style hat) at St Thomas Church Parkhead before moving to senior section 208 Pollok. Company was so big we had an accordion band and a separate pipe band. Church parades once a month were awesome. :D
 
I loved my time in the Anchor boys then the Boys Brigade I don't hear anyone talking about it these days is it still going strong ?

I enrolled my foster son in our local anchor boys, only 5 sometimes 6 of them.

According to Irish Republicans (and therefore almost certainly the Scottish variety too) the Boys' Brigade is a paramilitary organisation. (no joking)
For more info google Jude Collins and the BB.
