Peterhead Methodist Church
Boys' Brigade

This is a Christian organisation which takes boys and turns them into men of God.

The Object, known world wide, sums this up as -

• the advancement of Christ's Kingdom among Boys
• and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect
• and all that tends towards a true Christian Manliness

I hope we have given here a small insight into our Boys' Brigade. Why not contact our Boys' Brigade Captain and check it out for yourself?For further information visit the Boys' Brigade UK web site.

Peterhead Boys Brigade New Autumn Schedule

It’s BB time once again. We are just about to start our new session and I thought I would let you know what’s happening this year.

Our sections start again on Thursday 28th August and the times and contacts are as follows:

   Anchor Boys         (Primary 1,2,3 and 4)                      5pm – 6pm
 Contact Ann (01779 481741)    or Lorna (01779 472566)
 
   Junior Section       (Primary 5,6,7)                               6.30pm – 8pm
Contact Alan (01771 622977)    or Ken (01779 472566)

   Company Section  (1st year Academy upwards)          7pm – 8.30pm
Contact Alan (01771 622977)    or Steven (07867 743283)

We have loads or new resources now as BB has finally updated may of its badge structures, and this promises to make it an interesting year.

The Company Section are planning to go on an activity weekend at Nethy Bridge. This is at the start of November and as well as including climbing, abseiling and archery there’s also a Christian Time Out, where the leaders of the centre interact with the kids spreading the Good News.

The Junior Section will be up to their usual tricks with trips out and visitors in and the visit to the fire station at the end of the last session was very popular.

The Anchor Boys have been doing loads of craft work and games. There is also an award chart and which ever ‘team’ wins at the end of the month gets a prize – it’s very good for encouraging good behaviour!

Adults wanted

On a more depressing note though, we need to get more leaders and helpers. We are really struggling with the lack of adults and many of the leaders are having to cover more than one section.

Please remember you will have to go through the Church safeguarding procedure before you can begin the post. See the links underneath this article to see just what is involved and why it is so important.
