48TH EDINBURGH (PENICUIK) COMPANY, THE BOYS’ BRIGADE
This has been a good year for the company despite a reduction in numbers and we now have 29 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 senior Company Section boys on a weekly basis. Attendance is very good. The boys enjoy a varied programme of games, storytelling and craft. Two boys were promoted to Junior Section at our Annual Parents’ Night in May.
The Junior Section has a membership of 7 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. One boy gained his Gold Badge, the highest award in the Junior Section, and 5 boys were promoted to Company Section.
The Company Section has a membership of 16 boys and is staffed by four officers 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, 1 boy gained his 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. 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.e
