What a weekend for 4th Irvine! 🏔️🚢

It looks like the Junior Section had an absolute ball over on Arran for their camp! From the ferry crossing to the great outdoors, these are the kind of memories that last a lifetime.

A huge thank you to the leaders and volunteers who made this adventure possible, and well done to all the boys for representing the company so well.⛺🔥

Fantastic achievement! 🌟

A massive well done to Cameron for achieving his King’s Badge on Sunday, and to Jacob for earning his President’s Badge! 🎖️ This is the result of immense dedication and hard work from both young men.

Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off, and you should both be incredibly proud of yourselves. You are both a credit to 4th Irvine! 👏👏

Well done to Cameron for achieving his Kings Badge. This is a great achievement, and testament to his hard work from Anchor Boys up to Company Section.

Another well done to Jacob for achieving his Presidents Badge. Again, another great achievement, and we look forward to supporting him through his Kings Badge.

This morning Cameron and Jacob were presented with their awards. Thank you to all the boys, families and church congregation who attended the service. Thank you to Mr McBride who represented North Ayrshire Battalion as the president at our service this morning. Also, another thanks goes to Rev Neil Urquhart for a fitting service.

As members of the North Ayrshire Battalion, we know firsthand the incredible hard work and dedication Jackie has poured into her role within The Boys' Brigade. ⚓️ She has truly gone above and beyond for companies all over Scotland, and her impact will be felt for years to come! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

We wish Jackie a very long and happy retirement! 🥂🎉 While she’s stepping back from her national duties, we are delighted that she isn't going too far—we’re lucky to keep her here in North Ayrshire as she continues her fantastic work with 1st Millport. 🏝️🙌

Enjoy your well earned rest Jackie! 💙🎊

After over 11 years in her role leading the CashBack for Communities project for BB groups in Scotland, today we are saying goodbye to Jackie Wilson who is leaving the BBHQ staff team.

We are hugely grateful and thankful for all Jackie has done in her role and wish her all the best for a very happy retirement, as well as every blessing as she continues her role as a volunteer leader in the organisation!

Sun, Strength, and Sumo Suits! ☀️💪

What a day for the Battalion on Sunday! We couldn’t have asked for better weather in Largs for our annual Parade and Service. Huge credit to the boys and staff for such an incredible turnout.

Shoutout to 1st Largs for being amazing hosts! They ditched the traditional format for a modern twist that included:

🎸 A live band

🏁 Inflatable "Last Man Standing"

🥋 Sumo wrestling

🍟 A full chip shop dinner to finish! Supplied by The Fish Works

While the energy was high, the message was even stronger. The boys spent the day looking at what Strength really means and how to use it in their day-to-day lives. It was fantastic to see everyone so engaged and having a blast.

Thanks to everyone who made it a day to remember!

It’s fantastic to see such a brilliant turnout of both Boys and Staff today. We’ve got a busy schedule ahead, so stay tuned for updates and photos as the day progresses!
