Well done to Lewis from the 1st Fraserburgh who has completed his Building Your Skills Course online.
His certificate was presented to him by his Company Captain, Duncan Leel.
Completing BYS means that Lewis has taken a big step towards his President’s Badge, the second highest award in the BB.
Well done Lewis!
Last night the 1st Fraserburgh, 4th Fraserburgh and 1st Rosehearty Juniors came together to celebrate #BB140 with their 140 Sleepover!
As you can see it was a busy night with three teams of Boys taking part in three stations! First it was team games in the hall; then pancake making with Mrs Duthie and Mrs Bruce in the Kitchen; and the assault course run by the 1st Fraserburgh Seniors.
Thanks to Mrs Leel who donated medals for the assault course competition with every members getting either a gold, silver or bronze depending on their teams performance.
It was a late supper of Pizza before bed, the idea being the Boys would fall asleep watching a movie! Nearly worked, but all quiet by 1.45am!
After breakfast this morning all Boys were presented with their 140 Sleepover Badge! Well done all for taking part!
Thanks to the 1st Fraserburgh for hosting at the OPC Centre Halls and thanks to the Leaders and young men for giving their time to ensure it could happen!
Congratulations to Bailey Lynch (4th Peterhead), Jon Anderson (1st Fraserburgh) and Brody Tocher (1st Fraserburgh) who have successfully completed their Queen’s Badge work!
The three attended the North Scottish Area’s Completion course at Kincraig this week. Well done to all three for the high standard of work they put in to achieve the award.
We will look forward to seeing them received their badges at presentation nights in the very near future!
The #140Baton has been handed over from 4th Peterhead to the 1st Fraserburgh at the top of Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Fraserburgh!
