TEN PERCENT IN TWENTY TWELVE
Healthy numbers in our sections allow us to run a more varied and engaging programme. Many Companies have done really well over the last couple of sessions attracting new members. From 'bring a friend night' to school assemblies, there have been a whole host of great examples and none better than our own.
2nd Dumfries, The Boys' Brigade has gone from strength to strength in the past decade and the Company is now at near capacity with the largest numbers of members on the books ever seen in the Company's 92 year long history. The Boys' Brigade National Organisation set all Companies the target of raising their numbers by 10% in 2012 and as always the Team at 2nd rose to that challenge and succeeded in raising the roll of the Company for the fifth consecutive session. In the most recent edition of The Gazette (the official quarterly journal of The Boys' Brigade) 2nd Dumfries was recognised as the only Company in the Solway Battalion to raise their attainment and meet the 10% target.
This continuing success is testimony to the hard work, dedication and commitment of the Executive and all members of Staff and Helpers at 2nd as well as the continuing support of all our Boys and families - without this our Company would not be what it is today.
Here's to 2013 and the next ten percent!
