Boys’ Brigade
Overview
The 1st Killead Boys’ Brigade Company was formed in February 1962 by Mr Brian Swann, now Honorary Captain. The Company has approximately 70 boys and young men enrolled and a team of very dedicated leaders who meet each Wednesday evening.
A varied and interesting programme of activities is on offer to all boys, which also includes outings and competitions. The opportunity to participate in The D of E Award Scheme is offered to boys of age 13 years and above. The Company has had many competition successes in its recent history, both at Battalion and NI District level. Over the years, many boys have come to Christ as a result of the teaching and examples provided by the leaders.
