Brigade Watchword
Our founder, Joe Coughlin, wanted to find ways to unify Brigadiers worldwide. The Watchword originated around 1938 as the idea of starting a Battalion spread among his friends at Wheaton College, where Joe was a student and started what we now know as Brigade. It is one of the most consistent features of Brigade that you will notice when visiting Units around the world, as the men and young men in a Brigade close their time together by huddling up in a circle with arms over each others shoulders and say this prayer as a kind of Brigadier’s benediction.
“Now we trust in God, to keep us bright and keen for Christ. Because we love him, because we want to serve Him, until we see Him face to face.”
