Expedition

An expedition typically refers to a long journey or voyage undertaken for a specific purpose, often exploratory, scientific, geographic, military or political in nature.

In the BB, the Expedition Award is about learning to plan and reach far goals, mobility, simple overnight camps and other, related, small activities.

The requisite for the Expedition Award is some basic knowledge of First Aid, preferably a Basic First Aid Award, against any emergencies or injuries during the Expedition Practical Test.

In the Pipeline

The following are under consideration for inclusion into future programme.

The reasons for this are:

• modernisation of programme for Members
• inclusion of activities and skills not currently in the syllabus of the BBM
• fun without being overly concerned over certification

Cool Dessert

In celebration of the return of our Officers from study leave, (and because it has been so hot lately,) we had a bit of fun with cold stuff.

Camping

The Camping Award is about living outdoors, planning, preparing, choosing basic equipment you will carry, using them, camping crafts that make camping fun, comfortable and memorable, cooking and preparing meals -- all done in the wild.

The Camping Award is one of BB's oldest Awards, started in the 1890's when Lord Baden Powell was an Officer of the Boys' Brigade. (Sir WAS was also with the Boy Scouts for a time, but our Founder decided to focus on the BB after putting some thought into it.)

We the BB owe it to Sir WAS and Lord Baden Powell, to maintain the tradition started more than one and a quarter centuries ago.

Recruitment

The Recruitment Award is a Compulsory Award that challenges Boys and Girls to grow in Planning, Organising and Executing an action geared towards their own effectiveness in achieving a target that involves a third party.  This Award also brings in new Members, and as we say, the more the merrier!

Drill

The purpose of Drill in the BB is to develop Discipline and Character, as intended by The Founder.  In the achievement of the proficiency required of this Compulsory Award, it is hoped that the Boys / Girls will grow into confident, self-disciplined leaders in different aspects of their lives.

Christian Education

The Christian Education (CE) Award is a Compulsory Award crucial in the Boy's / Girl's understanding and achievement of the BB Object and Ideals.  The study of Christianity is necessary in order to understand the ideal Christian Character.  The Faith of a Boy / Girl is not a consideration for the CE Award.

Target Award

The Target Award aims to impart basic knowledge every Boy or Girl needs for life in the BB.

This Award is the First Award every Boy or Girl needs to pass in the Senior Section.

The only Rank allowed for a Senior Section Boy or Girl without the Target Award is Recruit.

Senior Section Boys and Girls are not allowed to wear any Awards without the Target Award.  Boys & Girls are not allowed to attend any other Award Classes before fully completing the requirements of the Target Award.
