Psychologist Dan Kindlon notes, “Boys…often by third grade, have already disengaged their energy from the task of learning, tuned out of school, and written it off as a place where they can’t do anything right.” Why? A large part of their lives is controlled by overwhelmed teachers and parents, after school programs and attempts to control their boisterousness to retain sanity.
Boys love being physically active and will struggle when required to sit in a classroom eight hours a day. Where can boys go where they are nourished and understood?
The Boys’ Brigade has been providing opportunity for boys to be active and learn great habits for over 140 years. Each BB group encourages boys to develop character and leadership qualities. They also engage the boys in age appropriate activities and devotions. Lives are transformed in BB – from the age of 5 to 18.
Are you ready to set your boy free? BB groups meet once a week during school time at a local church. All our groups are different, so you may like to try a couple to find one that suits your boy. You can find a group near you right here on our website.
