The Church Lads' and Church Girls' Brigade is an Anglican youth organisation with branches in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Bermuda, Kenya, South Africa, Barbados, Newfoundland and St Helena.

A banner depicting St Martin, which was presented by the brigade in 1921 to honour those members who died in the First World War, is kept at Westminster Abbey.

During the First World War, the Church Lads' Brigade was involved in the creation of the Newfoundland Regiment and the 16th (Service) Battalion (Church Lads' Brigade), King's Royal Rifle Corps, among other.

Membership receives an opportunity to have Brigader magazine twice a year, the Newfoundland CLB Bugle and offers of merchandise.

There are national camps available, one being a trip to Butlins and another being 'spring adventure' (the location varies); these are both early in the year.

Many brigade companies choose to take their members on expeditions, sometimes working towards their Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

Many brigade companies in the United Kingdom also have a marching band with instruments such as drums, bugles, cymbals and glockenspiels.

It has also played a role in the brigade's annual service of remembrance held each November in the chapel of the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire.

To fight valiantly under his banner against sin, the world and the devil, and to continue as his faithful soldiers and servants to the end of our lives.

Amen.Some companies, such as St James Brightlingsea in Essex, will say Grace at the end of the Brigade Prayer.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, evermore.

The ballad was popularized in 1997 when it was covered by the Canadian folk rock band Great Big Sea.
