2nd Guernsey Company, The Boys' Brigade

Our Company was formed at L’Islet in 1947, but the worldwide organisation has been around since 1883 and is part of the boyhood experience of many adults. We resist the temptation to live in the past because our function is to serve today's young people.

Our Founder, Sir William Alexander Smith, included in our Object "The Promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness" and that has not been changed.

What has changed is how we go about promoting that object. We recognise that the influences surrounding our young people are not always helpful and that too many lose control at great cost to themselves, their families and the community. The answer is to catch the energy and enthusiasm of youth and to channel it purposefully. 

We provide a safe and caring place for your child to have fun and engage in a balanced programme of activities. All of our leaders are trained and have completed Safeguarding training and disclosure checks. We are an integral part of St Mary's Church L'Islet, but we welcome young people of all faiths and backgrounds.
