48TH EDINBURGH (PENICUIK) COMPANY, THE BOYS’ BRIGADE
This has been another good year for the company and we have 38 boys registered across all sections. As always there have been a variety of activities taking place across the Company as follows:
The Anchor Boys have a membership of 6 boys and are staffed by one officer and one helper, with assistance provided by one of the senior Company Section boys on a weekly basis. Attendance is very good the boys enjoy a varied programme of games, storytelling and craft. One boy was promoted to Junior Section at our Annual Parents’ Night in May.
The Junior Section has a membership of 10 boys and is staffed by one officer and three senior Company section boys, with another two officers assisting as required. The boys enjoy a varied programme on a normal meeting night and have enjoyed participating in various Battalion events and competitions during the year. 7 boys gained their Gold Badge, the highest award in the Junior Section, and 8 boys were promoted to Company Section.
The Company Section has a membership of 22 boys and is staffed by three officers, a Warrant Officer and one helper on a Friday night. During the year 1 boy gained his Queen’s Badge, the highest award in the Boys’ Brigade and we have 3 other boys working towards their Queen’s Badge. In addition 2 boys gained their President’s Badge.
The boys have participated in the wide variety of Battalion and National Competitions, including PT, Football, Table Tennis, Badminton, Chess, Cross Country, Swimming and Drill. We had success in winning the Battalion PT Competition. In addition boys have won individual medals in PT, swimming and cross country, where 3 of our boys represented Edinburgh & Leith Battalion in the Scottish National cross country championship and won a silver medal in the team competition. We have also had successful outings to a rugby international match, a premiership football match and a 10 pin bowling night.
In addition we held a very successful weekend camp for Company and Junior Section boys at Carronvale House over the Easter weekend.
As always we are very grateful for the continuing support of the North Kirk family.
