Girls' and Boys' Brigade
Girls' and Boys' Brigade meet at Central Methodist on a Friday evening. Anchors, Explorers and Juniors (ages 5-11) meet from 5-6.30pm, and Seniors and Company section (ages 12 years and up) meet from 6.30-8pm.

We have great fun, taking part in activities both in the church buildings on a Friday night, and sometimes out and about on other activities, and sometimes with other Brigade companies. Those age 8yrs and above look forward to an annual camp, usually by the seaside! In 2024 we went to Weston-super-Mare, and we plan to return to a different part of the west country in 2025. We have an annual enrolment service and presentation evening, and Parade services each term.
Recently, we've had fun with badge work this term with ‘Fitness Monopoly’ and ‘Being Detectives’.
The Seniors have been thinking about conflict and being peacemakers and working together, with activities to challenge them. One of their favourite games has been ’Sardines’ with lots of hiding places to keep them hidden from each other!

The Seniors have enrolled in some Battalion and National Competitions - in November they took part in the Master Team Quiz.
The Seniors have also enrolled in the ’Top of the League’ where they have each individually predicted the final positions for the teams in the Premiere League. There is a monthly update from BBHQ and I’m please to say that one of our members already has a mention….
If you would like to know more, or come along and try a session, we would love to see you.
Please contact Sally Woodhouse, via the church email, for more information.
