The Boys’ Brigade Remembers
Tuesday 11th November 2025Over the last few days, BB children and young people have been getting involved in activities and events to remember all those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
On Remembrance Sunday, young people and leaders from 1st Carnoustie, 2nd Forfar, 1st Irvine, 25th Stirling and 1st Telford represented the organisation at the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on Whitehall in London, forming part of the ‘Column Y’ section with other uniformed youth organisations. The event included a march past and the laying of wreaths, and was broadcast live on the BBC.
Across the country, thousands of BB members took part in Remembrance events in their local communities, including Church services, civic commemorations and collections for the Poppy Appeal.
Our children and young people have also been able to engage with Remembrance as part of their regular programme of activities, by learning about what Remembrance is and why it is important, exploring how they can get involved in supporting initiatives such as the Poppy Appeal, getting creative with activities from our termly programme such as making glowing ‘Poppy Jars’, and reflecting on the sacrifices made by those who went before us and how they link to Jesus’ ultimate act of love on the cross.
We want to say a big thank you to everyone who got involved in this year’s commemorations in any way.
BB groups have been posting about their Remembrance activities on social media. We encourage groups to post and tag The Boys’ Brigade, and use hashtags #WeWillRememberThem and #BoysBrigade. You can also email us at newsdesk@boys-brigade.org.uk
