We meet on Friday evenings in the fantastic facilities of Falkirk High School and provide a weekly programme of activities for children and young people in Falkirk, split across four age groups:
We are a part of The Boys’ Brigade, a national uniformed youth organisation with groups in around 750 local communities across the country.
Since forming in 2013 we have grown to be one of the biggest companies in the Falkirk area. We pride ourselves on the wide-range of activities and opportunities we offer our young people as they progress through our age groups. We have a team of 9 fantastic volunteer leaders who strive to provide the best possible experience for over 60 young people.
Our weekly activities include a mixture of arts & crafts, games, sports and swimming. In addition we take part in local and national competitions and our older age groups have the opportunity to attend regular camps and weekends away including foreign adventures.
The Boys’ Brigade has faith in young people and provides them with opportunities to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun and caring environment which is rooted in the Christian faith.
If your son is in P1-S6 and would be interested in joining us please register to join or get in touch for more information and join the adventure.
