Interestingly, the original spelling of ‘steadfast’ in the BB’s motto was ‘Stedfast’ which was the archaic spelling of the word. It has now been changed to the modern spelling of the word.

Freddie McAllister and Davy Murray were running the Boys Brigade when Mrs Jackson started up The Life Boys.

Mrs Jackson was invited to the Royal Garden Party at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, in recognition of the work she did.

Thanks – we know that The Girls Brigade colours were donated by the people of St Catherines so The Boys Brigade colours could have been too.
