The story of the Boys' Brigade 1883-1983

The book 'First for Boys' is for the BB Boys of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Boys of yesterday will recall many of the events described here, perhaps through rose-coloured spectacles! The Boys of today must make the Brigade of tomorrow, and the Boys of the new and unknown BB century should be proud to learn of their roots.

This book is but a glimpse of the Movement which was and is 'First for Boys'.

'First for Boys was written by Donald M. McFarlan.
