John Brown Paton, a Scot from Newmilns in Ayrshire but who had lived most of his life in England, was a Congregational minister, recently retired as Principal of the Nottingham Congregational Institute. He was an admirer of William Smith and the methods of The Boys\u2019 Brigade. Paton\u2019s organization evolved out of the apprehension of many Churches, particularly in the Nonconformist sphere, at the paramilitary forms of the other Brigades. The Boys\u2019 Life Brigade was to be an integral part of the Nonconformist National Sunday School Union, more so than the B.B., and the control and staffing of the organization reflected this influence. The stated object of the movement, however, departed little from that of the original Brigade. The emphasis was on life-saving (from fire and water) as a substitute for military drills, and the teaching of swimming was fundamental.<\/p><p>&#8221; To Save Life &#8221; became the motto of the new movement, and its purpose to inspire the Boy with belief in the sanctity of his own life and that of others. Its objects were defined thus :\u2014<\/p><p><i>&#8221; To lead our boys to the service of Christ ; to train them for an active disciplined, and useful manhood ; and to promote habits of self-respect, obedience, courtesy, and helpfulness to others, and all that makes for a manly Christian character. These objects shall be sought chiefly by means of drill\u2014not associated with the use of arms\u2014and with instructions and exercises in the saving of life from fire, from drowning, and from accident.&#8221; <\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9bdd85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a9bdd85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"557\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebbmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Boys-Life-Brigade.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-22253\" alt=\"Boys Life Brigade\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebbmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Boys-Life-Brigade.png 557w, https:\/\/www.thebbmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Boys-Life-Brigade-200x232.png 200w, https:\/\/www.thebbmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Boys-Life-Brigade-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/www.thebbmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Boys-Life-Brigade-130x150.png 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c382ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c382ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b style=\"font-style: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">As the founder John Brown Paton said:<\/b><\/p><blockquote><p>We don\u2019t intend our Brigade, in any sense, to be a rival to The Boys\u2019 Brigade. I would rather call it a complement to it \u2014 in this sense that while The Boys\u2019 Brigade is hindered by the objection which many people take to its military organization and associations, the new Brigade will meet those who desire to have boys secure the advantages of the discipline and so on of The Boys\u2019 Brigade free from the objections I have named. Personally, I do not object to the military forms of The Boys\u2019 Brigade but it is useless to ignore the fact that many people do.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>The organization had its greatest strength in the Nonconformist Churches, particularly the Methodist Church where, within ten years, there were over 3,000 officers and boys. The movement spread throughout the country and by 1914 there were over 15,000 boys and 1,500 officers in 405 companies. The B.L.B. uniform closely resembled that of The Boys\u2019 Brigade, with an alternative blue full-dress uniform available. While never reaching the strength of the original Brigade, The B.B. in Britain, 1883 to 1900 the B.L.B. maintained its position by rigorously opposing affiliation to the Government\u2019s Cadet Scheme. This philosophy similarly precluded any early amalgamation with The Boys\u2019 Brigade, with its sporadic use of dummy rifles. In 1926, The Boys\u2019 Brigade stopped using dummy rifles, and this meant that a Union between the Boys Life Brigade and The Boys&#8217; Brigade could happen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-587d77f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"587d77f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>This virtual exhibition is brought to you by <strong>The Boys&#8217; Brigade Archive Trust<\/strong>.
