Boys Brigade
Dunbar Boys Brigade is open to any male young person aged from 8 to 18 years, of any faith and background. We seek to make a positive contribution to the lives of the young people by providing a wide range of activities. We design our programmes to ensure that every child and young person has the opportunity to learn new skills and develop existing skills. 

Junior Section (meets on a Thursday in Dunbar Parish Church hall) is for boys in primary four to primary six. This age group has its own programme called 'Juniors' based on five areas:
  1. body
  2. mind
  3. spirit
  4. community and 
  5. creativity
The programme provides challenges, adventure and opportunities to learn and grow. The fun and engaging programmes enable the children to work in a team and take more responsibility. Juniors also get the opportunity to go on camps and residential trips, and for some this will be their first night away from home. Throughout their time in this age-group children can gain badges and recognition for their participation in the programme.

Company Section (meets on a Friday in Dunbar Parish Church hall) is for boys and young men from primary seven to sixth year. This age group has it's own programme called ‘Discover’ based on three areas:
  1. community
  2. recreation and
  3. skills.
Young people get the chance to develop existing skills and learn new ones, through a fun, balanced and challenging programme of activities. We encourage them to have a say and help shape their own programme. They can get involved in anything from helping others in their local community to playing sports, trying our adventure activities or being creative through dance or art – there’s something for everyone! There are also opportunities to go away on camps and residentials, which are often the highlights in the annual programme.

In Dunbar, we also give boys who are 14 years or older in the current academic year the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

Parents should contact Sandy Mitchell, the Company Captain on 07534 179286 for more information.
