Company Section

What is Company Section?

The Company Section is for young people aged 11 to 15 years of age.

What do they do?

Those in the Company Section take part in the Discover programme, that enables you to . . .

  • Take part in a a fun, balanced and challenging programme
  • Be recognised for your effort and achievement
  • Build trusting relationships

It's all about learning new skills, making your own decisions and having fun. BB provides a safe environment to explore new possibilities and achieve personal goals while making friends and having adventures. Within Discover there are 3 programme zones as follows:

  • Community
  • Recreation
  • Skills

And it's up to each young person to work out which opportunities are relevant for them, whether it's improving football skills, podcasting or recycling.

Every young person should also expect . . .

  • To experience new challenges
  • To be listened to and have a say
  • To be respected and valued
  • To have fun
  • To have the opportunity to develop a personal Christian faith

What else do I need to know?

Company Section have 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 would usually run for 1½ - 2 hours and will typically be finished by 9.00pm.

 The Company Section allows individuals to take part in the activities and the decisions. A chance to make ones own point, a chance also to remain one of a group. A chance to build friendships, a chance to make mistakes that will not be thrown back at them, where skilled staff support can present challenges fitted to the individual. Successfully achieving one challenge is great practice for the next.

Brigade awards provide incentive and ensure progression at a rate suitable to age and growing physical strength; there are leadership opportunities to release abundant energies in purposeful ways.
