Aimed at kiwi boys

BB engages with boys and young men right across New Zealand providing age specific programs that seek to develop boys into young men who are constructive, active, caring, resilient, innovative young leaders and contributing citizens. We may have evolved from a traditional Scottish past but this is very kiwi in its approach, activities and content.

Object and values

The advancement of Christ's kingdom among boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness.

Why BB?

BB is proudly a strong faith & values-based movement with programmes targeted 100% towards boys. Because of this singular focus the boys love it, engage with it, and thrive.  
The parents, leaders, and volunteers involved enjoy not only giving back to the community but also seeing the direct and immediate results of being male-role-models to others.

The BB Canterbury/West Coast Battalion supports companies across the central and upper South Island. Running camps, competitions, and events along with hosting regular meetings to enable all members to be kept up to date, and be involved with the running of the region.
