  Jewish Lads' Brigade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jewish lads are eligible for membership between the ages of twelve and sixteen, and may remain, up to the rank of sergeant, until the age of eighteen.
The brigade was founded, after a lecture by Colonel Goldsmid before the Maccabæans, at a meeting held at the Jews' Free School in the East End of London in 16 February 1895, when the first company of boys was enrolled; and six weeks later the first weekly drill was held.
In the 1970s, the gradual trend towards mixed companies transformed 'The Jewish Lads' Brigade incorporating the Jewish Girls' Brigade' into the combined 'Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade'.

The Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade (JLGB) is Britain's oldest Jewish youth movement.
It was founded in 1895 as the Jewish Lads' Brigade by Colonel Albert Goldsmid, a senior army officer, to provide an interest for children of the many poor immigrant families who were coming into Britain at that time.
Girls were admitted to membership in the 1963 (as the Jewish Girls' Brigade) and in 1974 the JLB and JGB amalgamated to become the JLGB.

A Girls' Section was formed at Grove House in Manchester after the Second World War, and units of the Girls' Training Corps were set up in both Manchester and Glasgow.
The Parents' Association of the Merseyside Jewish Lads' Brigade took the initiative in 1963, and girls' units, staffed by women officers, were soon established.
Brigade founder Colonel Goldsmid worked with Theodore Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism, and one of his favourite mottos was "Israel is my father and Britain my mother".

 daniel rose: the world of the jewish youth movement
Informal Jewish educators are inherently shapers of Jewish experience and role models of Jewish lifestyle, as opposed to the good general informal educator who is focused on helping to develop skills and not on shaping identity or group loyalties.
The first Jewish youth club established in Britain was the German Street Girls Club in London's East End in 1883, and had as its aspiration the integration of young, newly immigrated, Eastern European Jews into mainstream British society.
They are a dynamic and powerful source of Jewish identity and knowledge for hundreds of thousands of young Jews around the world, using their passion and commitment to their ideology and charismatic leaders to literally transform peoples lives.

Over the years there have been something like 25 Jewish youth organisations in Glasgow but we are the first to last for 100 years.
The Glasgow company was formed in 1903 by two elders of Garnethill Synagogue, the first purpose-built Jewish house of worship in Scotland, to help mostly young immigrants from places like Russia, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia to integrate with the indigenous population, give them proper values to live by, and become responsible citizens.
Girls were admitted to the company in 1964 but it was another four years before the girls became “equal partners” and the organisation became the Jewish Lads and Girls Brigade.
