What is the Stedfast Association?    What is Falkirk & District Stedfast Association (founded 1993)?

Stedfast Associations are related to The Boys’ Brigade, the first uniformed organisation for Boys, founded in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1883 by Sir William Smith.
They exist in various locations in different parts of the world as a means by which former members (Officers and Boys) of the Brigade, their wives or husbands, and friends of the movement can have a means of social contact with each other. At the same time, there is the opportunity to keep in touch with what is happening in the Brigade, and often to provide informal assistance to the local units (Companies or Battalions) of the Brigade.

Falkirk is a medium sized town in Stirlingshire, Scotland, and is the centre of the local government area of Falkirk. The main towns within the area, apart from Falkirk itself and its suburban areas, are Grangemouth, Denny, and Bo’ness, and in addition there are the old "villages" of Larbert and Stenhousemuir, Polmont, Brightons, Redding, Muiravonside, Shieldhill, Camelon, Bonnybridge, Haggs and Airth.
This area is the territory of Falkirk & District Battalion of The Boys’ Brigade and its constituent Companies, and it is from these Companies that membership of the Association is largely drawn. Our activities are based mainly in or from the Falkirk area. We also welcome ex-members who now live outwith the area and ex-members of other Companies in the surrounding areas where a Stedfast Association does not exist.
