I can't remember what the boys brigade stands for I knew at one time. By the backmark the button dates from and 1893 to 1947. Boys Brigade might have something to to do with Catholic schools but I can't swear to that.

The Boys' Brigade (BB) is an interdenominational Christian youth organisation, conceived by William Alexander Smith to combine drill and fun activities with Christian values.[1] Following its inception in Glasgow in 1883, the BB quickly spread across the United Kingdom and became a worldwide organisation by the early 1890s.[2] As of 2003, there were 500,000 Boys' Brigade members in 60 countries.

I had a buckle years ago that I had hoped was something better!

Very cool finds! I watched the video deepbeeps posted and it looked like quite an adventure. Glad you had a great time and made it back home safe.
