Our Heritage
The Boys’ Brigade was founded by Sir William Alexander Smith in Glasgow, Scotland, on 4 October 1883. It brought Christian teaching together with discipline, activity and a strong sense of belonging.
The Boys’ Brigade was founded at All Saints’ Church, Surulere, in 1976 by Messrs Edmund U. Okongwu and Nathan I. Anyasor, with Dorothy Ejindu and Hope Onwenu assisting. The founders also hoped to establish the Girls’ Brigade thereafter.
