In 1993, the Board of Directors unified the Brigade by changing the name to "The Boys' and Girls' Brigade of Neenah-Menasha".
In the late 70s, Brigade started sending co-leaders to Camp Miniwanca. Since Mr. Shattuck's involvement with Miniwanca dated back to the 1930s, Brigade and Miniwanca have been symbiotic. In 1995, the cost of sending co-leaders to the camp was too expensive, so the Brigade withdrew from its affiliation with the camp.
The Boys' and Girls' Brigade started its own Leadership Training Conference at Camp Onaway in the summer of 1996 under the direction of Laura Anderson. This conference taught young adults leadership principles. It's goal was, and still is, to introduce young people to role models and mentors by inviting a diverse team of leaders and presenters to the conference.
In November, 1997, a formal proposal for a ropes course was approved, contingent on funding and insurance approvals. Construction began in April of 1998 and was completed so that the course was ready to use at Leadership Camp in June of 1998.
In 1999, the Rifle Club began as an offshoot to begin teaching Hunter Safety that began in the 1970's. It was first under the eye of the NRA and then the Wisconsin DNR. The range was optional for each sixth grade boy or girl, and classes were offered to the public.
