The Church Lads' Brigade was a Church of England boy's organization, organized along paramilitary lines and dedicated to the advancement of Christ's Kingdom among lads of all classes, the promotion of Christian charity, reverence, patriotism, discipline, self-respect, and all that tends towards true Christian manliness.The CLB was founded in Fulham, England in 1891 as a Church of England organization for boys between the ages of 13 and 21 but is now non-denominational and accepts both male and female recruits.
Twillingate had a very active group and often groups from Botwood, Grand Falls and other communities in Notre Dame Bay would come and camp on the St. Peter's rectory grounds.
The following photos are from one of these visits.
