Junior Section : 8-11
The Junior Section is for boys aged 8 to 11 years old.
We meet on Friday evenings between 6.30 and 8.30 pm at Law Parish Church
We have lots of fun doing different activities which include baking, crafts, music, games, sports, gymnastics, stories, trips, figure marching, camp, making friends and more.
Juniors are about:
·having fun
·making friends
·enjoying lots of activities
·trying new things
Through the many different activities, Juniors will...
- learn about themselves
- get to know people and learn to work together
- explore the community
- personally develop
All of this is done as part of a balanced programme that is separated into five different zones:
· Body - fit for fun
· Mind - think and do
· Spirit - God and me
· Community - me and my world
· Creativity - make and do
Everything a Junior Boy does help them to develop and to think for themselves, in a safe environment.
The Officer in charge of the Junior Section is Joan Dimond

Badgework
The Juniors Activity Programme provides an informal award scheme. This means boys will gain their awards as they take part in the usual programme activities.
|
The Junior Target Award requires 5 activities, one from each of the five zones and is usually awarded shortly after joining the Junior Section. The Junior Bronze Award requires 10 activities with at least one from each of the five zones and is usually awarded at age 8/9. The Junior Silver Award requires 20 activities with at least three from each of the five zones and is usually awarded at age 9/10. The Junior Gold Award requires 20 activities with at least three from each of the five zones and is usually awarded at age 10/11. |
In order to get all 4 awards a boy needs to complete a total of 55 activities over three years. It does not matter what age your child joins at since they will join in with others their same age and participate at their own level. There is no judgment about how well they have done, all that is required is to join in and try their best.
