1ST WALLINGFORD BOYS’ BRIGADE

JOIN THE ADVENTURE TODAY!

Company

 

The core age range of Company Section is from 11 to 15 years. 

  

This age group has its own programme called ‘Discover’ based on three areas; community, recreation and skills. Young people get the chance to develop existing skills and learn new ones, through a fun, balanced and challenging programme of activities. Young people are encouraged to have a say and help shape their own programme. They can get involved in anything from helping others in their local community to playing sports, trying out adventure activities or being creative through dance or art – there’s something for everyone! There are also opportunities to go away on camps and residentials, which are often the highlights in the annual programme. 

  

Uniform 

Children in the Anchor Section wear a core uniform of a blue polo shirt and navy blue sweatshirt. On some occasions members will wear school trousers and footwear as part of the uniform, but check with your local group. Where do the badges go? You can find a diagram showing the positions of badges for this age group here. 

  

Safe & Caring 

All our adult volunteers undertake a disclosure (criminal records) check as part of their registration with The Boys’ Brigade, and are trained to provide a safe and caring environment for all children. 

  

Costs 

Most groups charge a subscription which may be collected weekly, termly or annually and will usually be around £1-£2 per week. This said, we don’t want any child to miss out because of cost, so if you have any concerns about finance please speak to a leader in the local group in confidence about this. 

  

How do I join? 

The best way to get involved is to find your local group (also known as a ‘Company’) and pop along on the day and time which the group meets.
