66th Aberdeen Boys' Brigade

Just to wish all past and present a very Happy Healthy 2010...Cant believe it was 1978 when we won the Rosebowl Football Trophy...scary.

It is many years since I have been part of a great team (66th Aberdeen Boys' Brigade) and I am glad to see it is still surviving and doing well.
I joined the company in 1955 as a boy and through the years worked my way up to be Captain. I was Captain of the 66th for many years and had the privilege of working with hundreds of boys through the years. I saw the boys coming into the company little children and leaving as young adults, most times full of confidence and well being. I also kept in contact with many of them as they furthered their careers.
Some professions the boys followed were: - Police, Ambulance, Paratroopers, Tank Regiment, Doctors, Male Nurses, Accountants, Engineers and many more.
Now I have found your web site I will regularly check it to see if any of the old boys will respond. I hope Paul Murray the serving Captain will write to me as I would love to talk to him.
I would love to hear from anyone else who knows me or served under me. God Bless you all.

had a great time being part of the boys brigade

Hi folks
Great to see messages of support.
The session is now up and running and glad to report the numbers are growing week by week.

So far we have:

5 boys in the Company Section
13 boys in the Junior Section
15 boys in the Anchor Boys

It seems there may be more small ones joining so once again the company is going from strength to strength. Even after 125 years the BB still has a place for the young loons of today!
