BB is a uniformed organisation for Boys, established and underpinned by the Christian faith. 

Our aim (objective) 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 emblem is an Anchor which stands for the strength, hope and security which God gives and the new life we have through Jesus (the red cross).

Our Motto is taken from Hebrews Ch 6 v 19.  “Such hope we have as an Anchor of the soul both Sure and Steadfast”.

It is our Prayer that many of our Boys would come to know Jesus as their friend and Saviour.

The Anchor Boys are for all boys who are aged between 4 and 8 years (P1 – P4).

Tuesday evenings from 6.45pm to 8.00pm.

1^st Lurgan BB is a thriving organisation with a long and distinctive past, a hectic present, and an exciting future!!  We are a busy part of a World Wide Christian Organisation, based at Hill St Pres. Church,  which has rightly earned the reputation as “First for Boys” and having been around for more than 120 years, is part of the Boyhood experience of many adults.  The Boys Brigade programme review has been completed and launched in our Company September 2005, offering new and exciting, action packed programmes and activities for today’s Boys.  BB Badgework is developed from Luke Ch 2 v 52 “And Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man” – we seek to catch the energy and enthusiasm of youth and channel it purposefully.  BB is a life style training ground for the growing up years and will enable each individual Boy to grow into an adulthood that balances physical, moral, social and Spiritual skills. 

Come and join the Fun!  Anchor Boys offer so much – a time packed with games and songs, crafts and stories, expressively designed for their age.  These Boys are excited by each new discovery!

If your Boy is not involved in BB please encourage him to come along -  this is the start of fun and friendships, the start of learning to play together and indeed for many, the start of their time in the Boys Brigade!!
