Below are the descriptions of the formal dress uniform of the Boys’ Brigade. Companies are also encouraged to develop, for themselves, an optional casual Company uniform. This may be as simple as a blue windcheater with a BB crest (windcheater crest available from the National or State Uniform supplies), or as decided by your Company (eg polo shirts, rugby tops, caps, etc).
