We also parade on a number of Sundays to share in great All-Age worship with our Church Family.
The boys meet in a safe and welcoming setting in excellent premises to enjoy a fantastic nationally produced programme expertly geared to the ages of the boys. All leaders are DBS checked and appointed by our Church Council. Our aim is to help our members develop spiritually, physically and mentally; and to grow in their awareness of community life and the environment.
Activities include games and contests, craft and cooking, bible knowledge and drill, and much more – all mixed in with fun and friendship.
Anchor and Junior Sections
Additional activities include visits by people who serve our community and outings to fire and lifeboat stations. The Juniors also enter competitions with B.B. Companies locally and internationally, together with a residential holiday weekend.
Company Section
Additional activities include B.B. competitions; visitors, community life, fundraising and trips out. They learn leadership skills in the Anchor and Junior Sections; and can enjoy a summer camp under canvas with other B.B. Companies.
