In September 9, 2010, I participated in a camp sponsored by 17th Penang Boys Brigade of three days and two nights camp. In this camp, I was a camp helper.In this camp, I learned many things. Must do their own thing, must have a sense of responsibility. In addition, there are many in this camp will be fourth and fifth graders to participate. Therefore, we must communicate more with them to better understand them.
I think that, although the camp will be very hard but also very tired, but we must persevere. We spent a lot of those campers the difficulties faced with the problem, but also we had a good time. In this camp, everyone can learn together, such as cooperation. We also play games.I also learned a lesson, how good a team to lead and learn how to overcome difficulties. We still know a lot of friends.If you have a chance, I will again participate in such a similar camp.

首先,我要把一切荣耀与尊贵归给我们的全能神,因着上帝的保守和看顾,这个营会才能顺利进行及与圆满地结束。除此之外,40个营员也是神预备给我们的恩典。 虽然这次的营会相当成功,但还是有一些需改进的地方。第一:我觉得营会活动的时间并不能根据时间表的时间准时完成,这一点须再按排妥当。第二:station game不是每一个都好玩,有些营员到我的station都向我埋怨很闷。Station game 应该刺激点。第三:toilet应加强保安,例如:墙壁可以建高一点。最后,感谢一切帮助筹划及协助这营会的工作人员,尤其营长。也感谢主,阿门。

在这里我想感谢主办单位安排我在清洁和音响方面。因为这是我的专长,在家里我有时常帮忙妈妈做家务;而音响方面我曾在教会被训练过。我本身觉得在搬东西去的时候和搬东西会的时候是最辛苦的,因为音响系统是有很多的,还有其他的乐器等等,而我们去到那儿有不知道哪一个是我们的礼堂,而搬来搬去花了很多力气和时间,是最累的。然而在一切处理之后就很轻松了。=D我想说的是借着这三天两夜里面我们和营员都享受在大自然的怀抱里。这一切都是上帝所赐给我们的。在我心目中所有的营员都是最好的,因为你们给我看到你们团结和合作的一面。在此我要向他家说一句对不起,因为我知道我在营会里做的不是很好,希望大家原谅我,因为我还是在学习中。:)我也要谢谢你们让我回到我的童年。XD我在此谢谢所有对应会有贡献的人哪怕只是一个简单的一句还是一个微笑都是给予我们很大的鼓励。谢谢你们。

Boys' Brigade History
The first Boys' Brigade company was set up by Sir William Alexander Smith on 4 October, 1883, at Free Church Mission Hall, North Woodside Road, Glasgow, Scotland, to develop "Christian manliness" by the use of a semi-military discipline and order, gymnastics, summer camps, and religious services and classes.
In the years following the establishment of the 1st Glasgow company, others were rapidly formed throughout Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom leading to a movement comprising thousands of boys.
The Boys Brigade movement in Wales was founded by George Phillip Reynolds in 1887 at Havelock Sreet Presbyterian Church, Newport, Monmouthshire.
By the early 20th century there were about 2,200 companies connected with different churches throughout the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the United States, with 10,000 officers and 160,000 boys.
Each company is normally affiliated to a battalion encompassing several nearby companies, which in turn are organized at a district and then national level, although in Scotland each company is attached to a local district, which is attached to a battalion.
Companies are named in the form "2nd Springfield", indicating the second company to have been established in or around Springfield; it should be noted that where companies have closed, numbers are not normally reallocated, so it is quite normal to find a "2nd" but no "1st" company.
Initally, a simple rosette was worn as an identifying uniform, shortly being replaced by the simple use of a belt, haversack, and pillbox cap (a popular military cap of the day) worn over the boys' everyday clothing.
The pillbox cap was used into the 1960s, long after it had fallen out of use in the British Army, when it was replaced with a field cap.
The movement also pioneered camping for leisure in Britain, previously rarely used outside the military. Early admirers of the Brigade included Robert Baden-Powell who as Vice President of the Boys' Brigade used it alongside initiatives in schools, particularly Eton, to promote the idea of scouting and outdoor pursuits based on those of the military for boys.
At the time, he did not originally intend that any individual organization would later arise from this aim in the form of the various Boy Scouts movements.
Early examples of Scouting were seen in Boys' Brigade Scouting awards and even specialised Boys' Brigade Scout sections who wore a blue uniform with shorts and the distinctive Smokey Bear hat traditionally identified with Scouts, and still worn today by drill sergeants in the United States Army.
However, nowadays there is a certain friendly rivalry between the two groups.
The Boys' Life Brigade was one of many similar movements formed by the Boys' Brigade's influence, sometimes along denominational or religious lines, including the Church Lads' Brigade, the Jewish Lads' Brigade, or the Catholic Boys' Brigade.
The merger also prompted the abandonment of dummy drill rifles that had been used in The Boys' Brigade, due to the Life Brigade's objection to use of weapons or their representations. For some time afterwards, the section covering members aged 8–12 years was known as Life Boys, before being restyled as the Junior section.
A popular hymn in the BB containing its motto and obvious reference to its emblem is "Will Your Anchor Hold" by Priscilla Owens, usually sung at displays and church services. Note, however, that this is not the official Boys' Brigade song. The official song for the Boy's Brigade is 'Underneath the banner'.
