BB Juniors in Celebration Sleepover

Monday November 13 2017

Over 400 members of the Boys’ Brigade descended on the Glasgow Science Centre last weekend in celebration of the Junior Section’s 100th year.

The Junior Section members, aged eight to ten years old, came from 36 different companies from across Scotland to experience the hundreds of interactive exhibitions at the centre, a live science show, and the state-of-the-art planetarium.

In celebration of the milestone, Junior members have been pushing themselves to complete 100 challenges including trying out a science experiment, attending a sleepover and raising £100 for charity - some of which were completed over the weekend.

John Sharp, Director of The Boys’ Brigade in Scotland said: “More than 400 Juniors attended the Science Centre sleepover. It’s a fantastic opportunity to give young people the chance to explore new subjects, learn and have a lot of fun.

“We aim to inspire and encourage all our children and young people, something this experience at the Science Centre provides. We are also keen to provide opportunities which are not always found in more formal educational settings, such as the STEM activities the event makes possible.

“I’d like to thank everyone involved, especially the 108 volunteer leaders we had in attendance as well as the centre staff who helped put on a fantastic weekend enjoyed by all. Without them, residential stays like this which give young people essential soft skills, would not be possible.”

The sleepovers have been taking place annually since 2013, and have attracted almost 2000 members.
