Summary
This 1909 image, taken at the home of Judge John L. Jordan on Maryland Avenue at the corner of W. Potomac Street, shows the Brunswick Boys Club posing with what appear to have been muskets. Founded by Reverend Luther Martin (seated lower left) of the Brunswick Presbyterian Church on A Street, this "secret group's" cry was O.G.F. Boom!, and each member had an insignia pin and scribe with the initials standing for Old Glory Forever.
Today's Brunswick Boy Scout troop can trace its beginnings back to this boys club, which was established by Pastor Martin. A Shell filling station that was later home to Fast Eddie's and The Brunswick Citizen was later constructed on the site.
The B.B.C. was also the precursor to the Brunswick Little League, as it fielded local teams up until 1954 when BRILL was formed.
