The Object of Boys Brigade is:
“The Advancement of Christ’s Kingdom amongst Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline and Self Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness”.
Boys Brigade is a Bible based (uniformed) youth group that meets weekly under the guidance of an internationally accredited program of activities designed to encourage the spiritual, educational, physical and social development of Boys.
Successful completion of all activities can result in the highest international recognition – the Queens Award – which is normally presented to the Boy by the State Governor at a special ceremony.

Dates during the year: Boys Brigade meets each week during school terms. We break during school holidays.
Costs: The annual fee to cover state capitation fees, most activities and the end-of-year awards is $125 with an “early bird” discount to $105 if the full amount is paid during the first term. The discount also applies for families with more than one Boy attending. Given that we meet approximately 40 nights each year, this equates to about $2 to $3 per Boy per night.
Uniforms: We recognise that uniform can be expensive and therefore encourage new Boys to attend “uniform-free” for the first 4 to 6 weeks before deciding whether they will commit to Brigade. We also keep a selection of second-hand uniform to help keep costs down.
