Celebrating the 140th Anniversary of the Boys’ Brigade

October 2023 sees the Boys’ Brigade celebrate its 140th Anniversary. To celebrate BB HQ promoted a number of events and activities for BB Companies to get involved with.

Here at 1st Bletchley, we decided to run events and activities for all of our sections to celebrate. Here’s a brief summary of what each section got up to!

Anchor Section

The Anchor Section were tasked to be creative with the number 140… what a coincidence!

Junior Section

Juniors across the country held a sleepover on the evening of Saturday 7th October 2023, even from as far as South Africa! At our sleepover, we had pizza, a quiz, online magic tricks on a massive Zoom meeting with other Juniors from across the country, s’mores, Baby Groot and sleeping bag prayers… all before bedtime! In the morning we had some bacon ‘n’ sausage baps to see us off.

Company Section

Our Company Section participated in the nationwide Monopoly Challenge, which was run across multiple locations in England and Scotland. Based on the Monopoly Board, we were tasked with the challenge of visiting as many properties as possible in London, as well as completing some photo challenges. Partly down to careful planning and partly down to luck, we managed to visit lots of different locations, eventually being placed 8th our of all the other teams!
