Boys Brigade

Boys' Brigade New Zealand is today's youth movement. Boys' Brigade life coaches young people by providing positive role models who lead fun filled, weekly activities within a balanced programme that is both skills and values based. See www.bb.org.nz for more info on the BB values and organisation.

The 30th Wellington Boy's Brigade Company meets on Thursday evenings during term time in the church hall, Team Section at 6:30pm and Company Section at 7pm. Boys Brigade is an integral part of the life of IBPC with the leaders all being members of the congregation and many of the boys also. Nathan is the chaplain to the Brigades and a Brigades service is held each year. Boys Brigade also provides a uniquely Christian youth setting with Christian Education badges offered bi-annually. 

Boys Brigade meetings include outdoor activities, games and learning sessions for both age groups. They also organise their own camps and participate in the National Leadership Camp and Young New Zealanders Challenge (formerly called Duke of Edinburgh).This year sees them out tramping, cycling, kayaking and water skiing - all in one weekend!
