HISTORY
The Boys' Brigade
The Methodist Boy’s Brigade is a Christian Organization which was founded on 4th October, 1883 at the Free College Church Mission in Glasgow, Scotland by Sir William Alexander Smith.
The Boys’ Brigade (B.B.) was first introduced into Ghana in the then Gold Coast by the Rev. H.N. Annan at the Christiansburg Presbyterian School, Osu in 1911. The organization later expanded its reach to Presbyterian Churches in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
In 1952, Mr. J.B. Koomson of the 33rd London Brigade made a new beginning of the Boys’ Brigade at the Accra Methodist Church, Asafoatse Nettey Road under the name of 1st Accra Company.
Mr. Koomson was greatly assisted by Rev. & Mrs. Peter Dagadu and Mr. Ebenezer Aikins-Hawkson who became the first Captain of the Company.

The Girls' Brigade
THE GIRLS BRIGADE
In 1893, it became necessary that a Girls’ Brigade be formed to introduce ladies into the Brigade Company of the Church. The Girls’ Brigade then started in Dublin in 1893. The aim was “The extension of Christ’s Kingdom among girls” based on the twin pillars, Bible Class and Physical Training.
The Girls’ Brigade remains a vital part of the Methodist Church and provides an opening for evangelistic work, spiritual growth and practical Christian training for girls in the Methodist Church.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ BRIGADE
The Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade is an Inter-Church Organization. The local Companies can be formed at the request of a Church. Church Members have a responsibility to both officers and the Company in supporting them with practical help and prayer.
