Company

Company membership includes teams of voluntary leaders, selected by the local Church, and boys of all ages, from 4 – 18 years old.

Battalions

Companies are grouped together in local areas to form Battalions. Officers from local Companies are appointed to run the Battalions, providing activities and events for boys and leaders where they can meet, have fun, compete and share friendship. There are 13 Battalions in Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland level

Boys’ Brigade Northern Ireland is run by a number of staff for volunteers. A number of local representatives are elected to a Northern Ireland level council, called ‘Brigade Council’, to lead the organisation in terms of its vision and direction. As the Council is made up of representatives from each Boys’ Brigade Battalion, the views and opinions of local members are channelled directly to the decision makers in the organisation.

Boys' Brigade Northern Ireland Headquarters

Staff at Headquarters provide a range of services to members including resources and information for leaders, administrative support, co-ordination of training, events and other activities.
