Iconz Adventure is a new 100% pure NZ Kiwi brand of children's
after school or weekend programme for 8-11 year olds or year 5-6 at primary school. The Name
Iconz has Icons and NZ because it is our aim to develop each child into a Kiwi Icon using
positive role models (Kiwi Icons) from families, churches and from within the local community.
Our curriculum material builds on the heritage, culture and pride that are unique to our
country. Through this we want to grow meaningful and positive relationships and boundaries for
teaching under the (ALLS Fun) principles of Adventure, Leadership, Life Skills and Fun.
Iconz Adventure is a subsidiary of The Boys' Brigade in New Zealand. Boys' Brigade is the
oldest international  interdenominational Christian organisation concerned with the positive
development of young people in the world. BB first began in Scotland 120 years ago and spread
to New Zealand three years later. Today the organization is represented in over 60 countries
around the world, working with up to 750,000 children and young people.
The Iconz Adventure concept was initiated out of a need to re-position and re-brand the
movement and to achieve positive numeric growth in the children, youth, churches and leaders
engaged in the movement. We have a uniform which consists of a Black baseball cap which has
the Iconz logo, containing the anchor, associated with the Boys' Brigade movement since its
birth in 1883, the Cross symbolising Christ who is the center of our lives, the silver fern,
our national "flower" in addition to the black T-Shirt containing the logo and graphics which
depict our adventurous nature.
Iconz Adventure was developed to coincide with the 120th anniversary of its founding and motivated
by the desire to reach into the areas of the community that traditionally are not catered for
in the existing Boys' Brigade framework. Iconz Adventure is designed to run in parallel to the
existing BBNZ framework, having its own image and identity whilst retaining the key values
and principles of Boys' Brigade. The primary objective is to train boys to become leaders and
rolemodels of boys, then in turn to be leaders and rolemodels in the community. The needs of
boys and young men are catered for using wide-ranging adventure based activities with awards
that will allow the holistic development of the participants.
