For boys in Y8 - U6
Leading Officer: Lt. Paul McConaghy
The Company section meet on Thursday evenings between 7:00pm and 9:30 pm
As part of the balanced programme that underpins what we do, we have lots of fun doing different activities on offer including learning new skills, arts, cooking, music, games, sports, bible study, drill marching, going on visits, going on camp and more. In addition, as boys progress through this section they will have opportunities to develop leadership skills within the company helping with their own section and the two younger sections.
The key things for the Company section is that everyone:
- Experiences new challenges
- Has the opportunity to develop a personal Christian faith
- Has fun in a safe and supportive enviornment
- Is respected and valued
- Is listened to and able to have a say
Information for Parents/Guardians:
We are always happy to have new members join our group at any time of the year. We run from September - April each year.
During the year, the Company Section undertakes a huge range of activities. Each night is different so there is something for everyone. A typical night begins with squad opening and is followed by the Bible Class, and learning about a new topic, interest or skill. Weekly sporting activities could be anything from football, hockey, badminton, box work, volleyball or basketball.
There are various activities and skills that fall under the Company section 'Discovery' badge scheme in which the aim is that boys, through completing various tasks will discover something new about themselves such as a hobby, interest or talent. The culmination of the badge classes is that over the years in the section, the boys will work towards achieving their Presidents and ultimately their Queens badges.
