Boys' Brigade Companies in South Australia operate during normal school terms and our Anchors (5*-7yrs), Juniors (8-11yrs) & Seniors (12-18yrs) often have different finishing times. 
*Some companies will accept boys when they turn 5 while others wait until the start of the year in which a boy turns 6. Please check individual company pages for exact  session times.

OUR PATRON

His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR Governor of South Australia with BBSA President Kevin Markham

A word from our President

Warmest greetings to all who have taken the time to visit our ever expanding website. I'm really excited about what Boys' Brigade can offer boys and young men as they grow to become valued members of our society. It's still hard to believe I'd ever get the honour to serve our current boys as State President when I first joined BB as a 6 year old. Still here I am sending you an enthusiastic welcome on behalf of all the boys and leaders and encouraging you to get on board for the ride of your life.....God Bless,    Kevin Markham
