Since 1962 CSB #2047 has been a part of a local Orchard Park church. In 2024, that church with no input decided to end this boys ministry as they stated "they were moving in a different direction".

Brigade Cadets #2047 is now a ministry from St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 53 West Falls Rd., West Falls, NY 14170 (Map and directions)

Stockade (Wednesdays 6:45 - 8:15) is a group for 8 - 12 year old boys

This group is active and aimed at the junior age boy.

• Boys have a structured and organized meeting time of games, post time (small groups), crafts, special events and story circle.
• Stockade also takes part in many extra activities which include, overnights, game nights, camping trips, pinewood derby, reptile night, and other activities!
• Prior to Covid we ran 2 groups on 2 different nights. Tuesday Stockade (small group) and Wednesday Stockade (larger group). Tuesday also had the options of boys wearing uniform shirts (optional and at no cost), while Wednesday was a larger group. 

Our group is partnered with 2 North American wide organizations. Christian Service Brigade as well as the Christian Cadets.  Brigade was founded in the 1930's and Cadets in the 1950's.

Our Stockade and Battalion are outreach ministries from the local church. In Brigade Cadets we believe and teach basic Christian beliefs. Boys attending Brigade do not have to be attenders of this church or any other. 95% or more of the boys who attend our group come from outside of our church with nearly half attending local Catholic Churches, Lutheran, Presbyterian and others in Orchard Park, West Falls, Hamburg and East Aurora.
