We are blessed to have such an amazing group of boys in Company Section (Year 8+).

We spent Thursday night talking about plans for the year, what badge work we will be doing including the Presidents and Kings Badge before we had some ice breakers and ‘Shoot the Sweets’ for some treats for the first night!

‼️ Important Reminder ‼️

At BB we have a 3 week rule, if your boy misses 3 weeks of BB in a row and we haven’t heard from you his spot will be given to a boy on our waiting list. As long as you are in contact he won’t lose his space!

Our younger groups are full and there is a growing waiting list however there are some limited spaces in our older groups so if any boys P5 and above were interested please do get in touch!

Cabin Boys (age 3 - P1) - Section Full
Anchors Boys (P2 - P4) - Section Full
Juniors (P5 - P7) - Limited space available
Company (Year 8+) - Limited space available

Well Thursday Night was a busy night …. We are so glad to see all our boys returning and to welcome our new boys to BB.

This year most of the Cabin Boys (Age 3 - P1) were new but we are glad that they all settled in well and had a great night! Looking forward to seeing you all back again next week!

📘 We're lifting up all the young people in BBNI receiving their GCSE results today in prayer. You've worked hard, and whatever the outcome—be proud of your efforts. As you step into your next chapter, remember: God is with you every step of the way. He will never leave you. 💙

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

A massive thank you to all our BB Leaders who make BB nights possible!

‘I see my role as constantly turning up and being a consistent voice in a tumultuous world.’

‘We’re not trying to get a good grade or good performance on the sports pitch from them, we’re just trying to put a smile on their face.’

In Northern Ireland today, 223,000 boys are growing up, trying to figure out who they are and where they belong. We have the great privilege of working with over 11,300 boys and young men every week.

THANK YOU to the incredible volunteer leaders who make this happen.
