In the raining day

All in the rain ~!


BB objective :

The Advancement of Christ's Kingdom among Boys' Brigade and the
promotion of habits of
Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect
and all that tends towards a true Christian Character.

For my own opinion , in the BB objective ,
the most important idea is to lead the Boys and Girls to Jesus Christ
and
this idea never should be doubt!

In addition , Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect
also can't be ignore

Obedience and Discipline should not only found in members only
it do have to be found in officers.

Both are interdependent , without obedience , how the discipline can be promote?

Drill is a good way to train youth in concentration
in listening , action and position

Officers didn't left them alone ~

Why we 're in uniform ?

Why officers shout /scold on them and punish them in drill?
Why we make the training so tough and strict?
Why we want the members address us in "sir/ madam "?
Why we want members listen and follow the instructions and able to action quickly and on time ?


Isn't it a part of training in the life ?
to prepare them in the young time .

If you want to keep on overindulge the kids , why you send them to Boys' Brigade ?
Why the BB company is operate in church if you were going to overindulge them or teaching them just like Sunday school?
Don't you want them to grow tough enough ? isn't it the time for youth to learn ?
Never give excuses on they're too young or they're still a kid that know nothing .

In my own experience , the officer that I remembered most in my life was my first captain , Mr Ng Hooi Gin , why is he become the most impression officer in my life ? Why members show respect to him?

Was he an easy going officer? was he never punished us ? was he never scolding us ?
NO , he did !

He gave me a lots of punishment while I was a member . While I was not able to memorized the Bible Scripture ,while I made mistakes on the drill section , while I didn't follow instructions.
In the meanwhile , he was also a good leader /captain that able to lead his members , he was always the first person to stand in front , able to lead , to guide , to take responsibility , to give command, to made decisions and also a good counsellor .


If you were an officer , and not able to give good command, not willing to punish your member while there were making mistakes . You will not in member's mind forever ! Honestly !
They might dislike you in the moment you punish them , but they would also give thanks and remember you forever .


Just because you care on them , only you 'll spend so many energies , times , heart to serve them !
