5th hawick boys brigade

This report appeared in last week's Hawick Paper about our recent camp at St Annes. Everyone had a great time. Boys' Brigade is back on this Wednesday (2nd September 2026). This week is enrollment night. We have a program of interesting and fun activities and games throughout the year. We also hope to take the group to this year's pantomime at the town hall, and visit Craikhope Outdoor Centre, and possibly one or two other trips, and, of course, another week-long camp in August next year.

We look forward to seeing everyone again on Wednesday. If your son is new to BB, he is welcome to come and give BB a try. You can message us if you have any questions.

We hope everyone has had a good summer. BB is starting on Wednesday 2nd September. We look forward to seeing everyone again, and hopefully some new people. We meet in Burnfoot School Hall. Ages 6 to 11 years starts at 6:30pm. Ages 11 and above starts at 7:45pm. If your son does not attend Burnfoot School he is welcome to come and he will soon make friends at BB, or even better, bring a friend. If he can't make it on the 2nd of September, he can come at a later date to give Boys' Brigade a try.
