Things You Should Know
Our Emblem
The Anchor
Our Motto
"Sure and Steadfast"
The Motto comes from Chapter 6, verse 19 of the Book of Hebrews from the King James Version (translation) of the Bible (notice the misspelling of steadfast is intentional as it quotes this verse!): “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast”.
Our Object
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.
Our Prayer
Bless, O God, The Boys' Brigade, and give to it greater power to advance Thy Kingdom throughout the world. Grant in Thy mercy that every Member, past and present, may prove steadfast in their fight against evil, and true in their allegiance to Thee. Help us in times of temptation; make us strong where we are weak; give us courage in difficulty; faithfulness in duty; loyalty in friendship; and finally, by Thy mercy, bring us into Thine everlasting Kingdom, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
