According to Wikipedia, the first boys club was established in 1860 in Hartford, CT - thus allowing the Boys Clubs of America to celebrate their first (of two) centennials in 1960. By 1906 there were several boys clubs and an effort to consolidate and unify the groups was successful - resulting in the Federated Boys' Clubs of America or Boys' Clubs Federation of America.
The Boys & Girls Club Code
I believe in God and the right to worship according to my own faith and religion.
I believe in America and the American way of life…in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I believe in fair play, honesty and sportsmanship.
I believe in my Boys & Girls Club, which stands for these things.




This charming collection of Boys' Clubs of America (and one from Canada) Swim Buttons makes a wonderful keepsake. For some boys the local Boys' Club was their only access to learning the important skill of swimming. Working their way through the levels inspired confidence in their abilities.
