East African Regional Fellowship of the Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade (BB/GB) brings together Brigade work in all East African Community including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania,
Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The main objective of Brigade is the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom among boys and girls up to the age of 17 years after which period these young people are trained to provide leadership at a higher level as BB/GB young officers. The approach ensures continuity of the organization through generations.
The regional fellowship conference scheduled for August 26 to 30, 2023 at Kyamate in South Ankole Diocese, Ntungamo District in Uganda will be attended by 2000 (two thousand) BB/GB young officers aged between 18 and 30 years. Along the young officers will be EARF Secretariat, all BB/GB National Secretaries, National Trainers, Field Officers and Company captains. We also expect representatives from other regions and countries in and outside Africa that subscribe to The Global Christian Youth Fellowship.
Conference Theme: “Behold, I am doing a new thing! (Isaiah: 43:19).
Program focus areas: Entrepreneurship, Community Engagement and transformation and the role of young people in fostering faith and development.
The International participants will get an opportunity to cross the Equator, interact with the famous Mburo National Park and many other refreshing natural features in the
country side.
You are all welcome to Kyamate (South Ankole Diocese) where the President of The Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade of Uganda is the seating Bishop and our chief host for the conference!
All the youth organisations attending are Boys' and or Girls' Brigades. FDF and the brigades have a shared history with the founder of FDF visiting the Boys' Brigade in Scotland and basing the start of FDF on that youth work model.
The Brigades have a heavy use of discipline and drill (marching) to attract young people to their youth organisation, and it's extremely popular.
