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.

Sommerville, 1st Glasgow BB

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. |
