In Central America, Belize, the principal town of the timber-rich crown colony of British Honduras (now Belize), was the centre of all prewar Brigade activity. The first company was formed there in 1899 and three more were attempted in 1911-12.
William Smith writing to E.Metzgen in September 1911: There already is one Company of The Boys’ Brigade enrolled in Belize in connection with the Wesleyan Church under the charge of the Rev. R. T. Morrison, The Mission House, Belize, and I hear of another Company under the charge of the Rev. Robert Cleghorn, Baptist Mission House, Belize, so that you, Mr. Morrison and Mr Cleghorn should meet together and arrange for co-operation in working your Companies. Mr, Morrison’s Company is an old established Company registered as the 1st Belize(British Honduras) Company. Your Company I think, should come in as 2nd Belize(Briti8h Honduras) Company and Mr. Cleghorn’s as 3rd.
The UK Annual Reports reporting the statistics of overseas Companies reported 3 Companies operating with an average of 180 Boys and Officers through until the early 1970’s.

In July 1896 the Trinidad Battalion was formed with a total membership of 210 (all ranks). Within five years B.B. membership doubled with the formation of another half-a-dozen units around the island and on nearby Tobago, a ward of Trinidad. The Trinidad Battalion was strongly supported by its Patron, the Governor, Sir Hubert E.H. Jerningham. Within several years of its foundation a number of minor concessions to the B.B. uniform worn in the colony were wrung from William Smith.
John Edbrooke oversaw the work in Caribbean in the 1960s’ which included Trinidad and Tobago, however the number of Companies remained low. By 1979 it was reported that “the work of the Brigade was very weak at present in Trinidad and Tobago.”
From the late 1970’s and into the early 2000’s the Brigade work continued to be supported by the Caribbean Fellowship of The World Conference of The Boys’ Brigade and Christian Youth Organisations.
The Boys’ Brigade came to the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), on the southern tip of the Bahamian Archipelago, in 1932. The 1st Turks Island, formed at the Grand Turk Methodist Church operated through until 1943. The 2nd Turks Islands operated at the Harbour Methodist Church between 1934 and 1938.
The Caribbean Fellowship worked on starting Brigade Companies on the Islands in the early 1980s and by 1990, the World Conference minutes recorded 2 Companies with 80 members, however this may have been short lived, as shortly it was recorded that the BB is unfortunately not operating at present in this country.
