Our Company was formed at L’Islet in 1947, but the worldwide organisation has been around since 1883 and is part of the boyhood
experience of many adults. We resist the temptation to live in the past because our function is to serve today's young people.
Our Founder, Sir William Alexander Smith, included in our Object "The Promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness" and that has not been changed.
What has changed is how we go about promoting that object. We recognise that the influences surrounding our young people are not always helpful and that too many lose control at great cost to themselves, their families and the community. The answer is to catch the energy and enthusiasm of youth and to channel it purposefully.

Our HQ
Our headquarters was officially opened in October 2005. We are all very proud of what we have achieved and our facilities and equipment are second to none. This is only made possible by generous donations from ex-members and funds like the Lloyds TSB Foundation, Help a Guernsey Child and the Guernsey Round Table. We are very grateful to everyone who supports the company financially.
