Selected South Australian Activities
The Boys' Brigade in South Australia has been involved in many activites over the years. Here's some of them.
Pan Australian Camp 2014 - South Australia
In January 2014, over 200 fellow Brigade members from throughout Australia and overseas joined together at the Adare Conference Centre, Victor Harbor SA for 12 days of action packed, high energy excitement.
ANZAC Eve Youth Vigil
Following a grafitti attack on the state war memorial on Anzac Eve 1999 the RSL invited youth organisations in South Australia to "Hold Ground" on the North Terrace site for the twelve hours preceeding the 6am Anzac Day dawn service. 2012 represents the sixth year BB has joined The Girls' Brigade, The SA Blue Light Rangers, Australian Army Cadets, Girl Guides SA, The Legion Of Frontiersmen, St John Ambulance Cadets, Surf Life Saving SA, Scouts Australia, Australian Air Force Cadets, CFS & SES Cadets and The Australian Navy Cadets in honouring those who sacrificed so much by serving their country in times of conflict.
The Boys' Brigade contingent assigned to our very first Anzac Eve Youth Vigil in 2007. Most of these boys regrouped to do it all again in 2008 and were joined by girls from The Girls' Brigade SA for the first time
IN 2010 THE ANZAC EVE YOUTH VIGIL RECEIVED THE ADELAIDE CITY COUNCILS "AUSTRALIA DAY COMMUNITY EVENT OF THE YEAR AWARD"

Anchors and Juniors Big Adventure
The 2010 Anchors & Juniors Big Adventure was held along the River Torrens Linear Park in the heart of Adelaide. Boys, parents and leaders had a great time walking along the trail which often followed the O-Bahn Busway from Walkerville to Felixstowe. Highlights included crossing a number of foot bridges and several adventure playgrounds and of course a barbecue lunch.

Model Railway Exhibition
Our model railway layout has been a work in progress (just like our boys) since 2005 and boys and girls alike are encouraged to drive our trains at The Model Railway Exhibition held over the June Long Weekend at Angle Park.
Our State "Training" Officer (I'm not kidding - he really is) gets in on the act, running a replica of "The Boys' Brigade" Inter-City Loco Class 86 Number 86243 which was first commissioned at Glasgow's Central Station in 1983 to celebrate our world centenary! A very special thanks to the family of the late Mr Alan Tuckwell (member of both BB Whyalla and The Whyalla Model Railway Society) for their most generous gift
