Boys' Brigade
The new session has started well. Anchor Boys has doubled in numbers thanks
to a visit to Kilsyth Primary by John Paterson. Juniors and Company Section are
about the same size as last year. Some Boys have joined us from 1st Kilsyth
Junior Section and we would like to welcome them - we hope that you will enjoy
your time in the Company.
Our first event of the year was held on Saturday 21st September when we
organised a car treasure hunt followed by a BBQ. Around 18 cars headed off some followed the route, some got lost, one even phoned in to check that they
were on the right road!!!! All had fun and returned to the hall for burgers, crisps,
cakes and indoor games because it was too wet to go outside. Thanks to all who
participated and to the staff and senior Boys who helped make it such a success.
Also on Saturday 21st September a group of Boys and two officers were out on
the Pentland Hills. The Boys were being assessed for the expedition section of
their Duke of Edinburgh's bronze award. They had good weather, an excellent
campsite and were commended by the assessor on the way they had worked
together. Well done!
We look forward to a busy couple of weeks ahead. On Monday 30th September,
the younger Company Section Boys will play football against Donaldson's school
for the Deaf. After the match they will return to the hall for supper together. The
Boys have been learning sign language - thanks to Scott Glen - and hopefully will
get a chance to use it.
The weekend of 4th - 6th October is the weekend when we
will celebrate 130 years of Boys' Brigade work.
BB was founded in Glasgow on 4th October 1883 by
Sir William Alexander Smith. We will celebrate by having the
Company Section playing 80 games throughout the night
of 4th October from 10pm until 8am.
At 8am they will be joined for breakfast by Anchor and
Juniors who will pla ???????????????????????????)]??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)????Q??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)5??????????????????????????????=?????=???????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????()
