What is Juniors?
Juniors is the programme for those aged between 8 and 11.
Who is the progarmme pack for?
This programme pack is for all those who work with the Junior Section. It contains important information about working in the BB and a wealth of ideas for games, crafts, devotions and activities to help keep your programme bright and fresh, and most importantly, fun for the boys and for the staff.
What areas does Juniors cover?
Juniors have fun! Their meetings are full of challenges, games and activities, usually ones that they have suggested themselves. There are hundreds of activities catering for just about every possible interest of a member and at the same time encouraging them to explore other new activities and occupations. There is certainly plenty of variety and little chance of becoming bored!
The award programme is specifically designed to encourage a child to look beyond themselves. Many are interested in one type of activity - perhaps sports, or natural history. Our special programme provides such interest and at the same time gently urges them to try others of a different type. This provides a balanced all round programme - which includes spiritual and social input, as well as physical and adventure activities in 5 different programme zones . . .
