Boys' Brigade in S E Essex
The BB Companies in an area form a Battalion. We belong to the
South East Essex Battalion which includes Southend on Sea Borough,
Rochford District and Castle Point District with one Company in
Basildon. The Battalion sees that BB regulations are met in leader
appointments, provides training and organises events for Boys. See
