Marching with the Boys Brigade

Although nominally this is a blog centred on Scouting, I do look at other generally boys youth related movements that have a similar kind of an ethos

We're going back in time and to one I have talked a few times about on here, the Boys Brigade who are pictured here marching in Sheffield, Yorkshire.

Apologies for the quality of this picture which like the other dates from August 1981 of the Hillsborough, Sheffield group which someone seems to have messed up in scanning from film to digital but we can see what were the current uniforms that were inspected, as all uniforms should I might add.

You should be proud to wear your uniform and wear it properly.

Anyone born after the late 1990's will instantly note that not only are the boys in shorts but what for people of that generation we'd call 'proper shorts', as shorts then were not on or below the knee but definitely above it.

The original was on a Tumblr of mine that's sadly gone.
