Seniors (Secondary 3 to Secondary 6)

Who is it for?

Seniors is for young people aged between 15 and 18.


What do they do?

Picture
Seniors take part in the Challenge Plus programme, which is made up of Projects and Challenges as follows ... 
 
Projects
These include taster sessions that act as an introduction to a topic and are then Followed by a longer project that is designed and led by the young people.

Projects are  grouped into 3 programme zones . . .

                                                                                Community
                                                                                Life Skills   
                                                                                Recreation & Leisure
 
Challenges
These are focussed on activities that could be completed by the group or as an individual  ranging from 'Climb a Munro' to 'Review a local takeaway'.

There are also opportunities to work towards . . . 

                                                                            The Duke of Edinburgh Award
                                                                            Young Volunteer Awards
                                                                            Queen's Badge

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. And it's up to each young person to work out which opportunities are relevant for them, whether it's sport's officiating, fundraising or DIY. 

Every young person should also expect . . 

                                                                    To experience new challeneges
                                                                    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?

Picture
Seniors 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. That uniform is dark trousers and shoes and a Navy Blue jumper.

To register Members and to cover the legality side of the Company we require an Annual Payment (Capitation Fee) of £25 per member. This covers aspects such as: Company Registration with the National Organisation; Insurance Cover for all activities; Staff Training; Staff Disclosure checks; Staff Registration; First Aid Cover; and Equipment. We do not ask for payment until the new Recruit is sure he wishes to stay with the Company.

In addition to the Annual Payment we also take £1.50 per member per week - this covers the evening's activities and hall hire.

Should you require any more information please direct any communications to Gary Thomson (Seniors OIC) via the Contact Us page.


How long do they meet for?

The weekly section meeting is on Fridays and runs from 7.15pm - 9.30pm (during school term time only).
