Address by Tom Boyle Director, Brigade Scotland
This was an excellent address by Director Tom
Boyle praising the boys for their work and endeavour in attaining the
Queen's Badge. He tasked them to use the skills and lessons they have
learned in everyday life at work and play and he hoped many of
them would put something back into the BB by taking leadership courses
and becoming officers.

Extract from Guestbook, 3 June
2008, Battalion Vice-President Duncan Mitchell
I chaired the
Presentation and, as usual, was very impressed by the young men
receiving their Queen's Badge certificates. Why is there no press
coverage of this type of event?
Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.

Excellent site. The
pages on the Boys' Brigade from this year are tremendous. And thanks
for the insightful comment on the Profile on the Queen's Badge done
by myself, Adam and Douglas. |
