All Change at SYP!

Thursday 23rd May 2019

Following two years in office The Boys’ Brigade’s two current members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs), David Kong and John Paterson, will be stepping down from their roles this June.

Both David and John have worked hard to represent the Brigade in parliament, but have also championed The Boys’ Brigade at local and national level.  During their term, they have attended many Company, Battalion and national events, and in September 2018, they fronted the Brigade ‘Year of Young People’ conference in Edinburgh.

Reflecting on his time as a Boys’ Brigade’s MSYP, John Paterson MSYP said:

“My time as an MSYP for The Boys’ Brigade has been a huge honour and privilege. I’ve been able to meet many amazing young people in our organisation and I have had the pleasure to represent the youth voice within BB.”

David Kong MSYP added:

“It has been a huge privilege to serve as the one of the first MSYPs for The Boys’ Brigade. During my term, I had the opportunity to meet a range of remarkable young people and represent their voices at national level. I hope to see our organisation continue to grow, year on year.”
