Object detail
Gavin Sharpe and his brother David attended between 1975 and 1985, going from junior ranks up to seniors.
Today the Boys Brigade also includes ICONZ, a less formal branch which focuses more on outdoor activity and team bonding than the more strict, cadet-style sessions in Boys Brigade. Today there are no traditional Boys Brigade companies in New Plymouth, and in 2009 there were approximately 2,600 members nationwide.
