7th Coatbridge Boys' Brigade

 

JUNIOR SECTION

The Junior Section of our company meets in our Church hall on Wednesday nights between 7.00pm and 8.30pm . Our age range is P4 - P6 boys, generally 8 – 11 year olds. We currently have around 10 boys on our roll and 5 members of staff.

Our Wednesday activities include marching, games, badge work and crafts. We also take part in local Battalion competitions such as physical activities, swimming gala, football, figure marching and Bible knowledge so we regularly have to practise for these during our meetings.

We work for individual badges in year groups of first, second and third year, and the programme includes Badge work across six different areas. Some of the work is done on Wednesday nights while other tasks have to be done at home.

Our session comes to an end with our annual display when the boys are presented with their attendance prizes, recognising their attendance for both Wednesday nights and Sunday Church parades. Our company trophies for individual and group winners are also presented at the display. This is usually held in April.
