Chryston Boys' Brigade
Are you 5 to 18 years old?
The Boys' Brigade (BB) offers programmes for young people aged between 5 to 18 in four different age groups.
BB Anchor Section
The Anchor Section is the youngest section in the BB and is for children aged between 5 and 8.
What do we do?The Anchor Section has lots of fun doing different activities which include making things, crafts, music, games, sports, stories, going on visits, making friends, and working towards their badges.
All of this is done as part of a balanced programme that is separated into 5 different zones . . .
What else do I need to know? - The Anchor Section has a special uniform that they can wear. As everyone wears the same thing they feel as though they belong. However nobody is excluded because they do not have the right clothes.
How long do they meet for? The weekly section meeting is on Tuesday Night 6.45 till 8.00pm
Why the Anchor Section?
Children of this age are developing rapidly. There are big changes in a child's mental, emotional, social and physical development. However, all children are different and have a variety of needs. The relationships formed with children at this age can be important in assisting them to achieve a sound sense of personal and group identity. The programme will provide a wide variety of different activities including:
BB Junior Section
Juniors is our second section and is for children aged between 8 and 11.
What do they do?Juniors have fun! Their meetings are crammed full of challenges, games and activities, usually ones that they themselves have suggested. There are hundreds of activities catering for just about every possible interest. At the same time we try to encourage them to explore other new interests. There is loads of variety and little chance of becoming bored!
The award programme is specifically designed to encourage a child to look beyond themselves. Many are interested in one type of activity - perhaps sports, or natural history. Our special programme provides for such interests and at the same time gently urges them to try others of a different type. This provides a balanced all round programme - which includes spiritual and social input, as well as physical and adventure activities in 5 different programme zones . . .
