The Boys' Brigade

 

METHOD, OBJECT & MOTTO

International Link - The World Conference http://www.world-conference.org

As a BB member you enjoy friendship in your own company. Do you realize that through your BB membership you are linked with thousands of other Boys, not in Malaysia, but also in many land overseas.

The Brigade now exists in some 60 countries throughout the world and almost half its strength is outside the United Kingdom where it began.

Boys of many different races and languages are linked together in worldwide Christian fellowship. The life of companies everywhere follows the same basic principles, with some variation in uniform and activities to suit local conditions.

The World Conference is a family of Christian Youth Organizations which grew out of the international work of The Boys' Brigade founded in Scotland in 1883.

The Organizations, with a worldwide membership of over 400,000, come together through The World Conference to share their faith, experience, ideas and resources.

International relationship and interdependence are encouraged through exchange visits, workshops, conferences, literature and projects.

While each national body is autonomous with its own programme for different age groups, the one common aim is to advance Christ's Kingdom among the Youth of the World.

In 1963, at a meeting in Dundee, Scotland, the World Conference of The Boys' Brigade was formed. A World Conference committee consisting of representatives from Regional Fellowship around the world has been set up.

The aim of the Fellowship was:

(I) To strive in every way possible to make real the wider B.B. fellowship to the Boys and Officers of       the member countries and territories.

(II) To promote closer relationships and to provide; mutual help and assistance.

(III) To foster the extension of The Boys' Brigade.

In 1976, The World Conference was reorganized to include FDF/FPF of Denmark, the

Ansgarsforbundet of Sweden, the Poikien Keskus of Findland, the United Boys' Brigade of America and the Boys' Brigade Neenah-Menasha, U.S.A., The Junior Ministry of the Arcot and Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Churches India is now a member.
