Our battalion is very small compared to other battalions within the Boys' Brigade. We are a very close family of five companies. From the area of North Hampshire and West Berkshire. Throughout the year we gather for various competitions, events and parades which are generally well attended.
Typical events are: a wide range of sports including football, basketball, table tennis, swimming, bowling; trips to theme parks; summer and weekend camps; expeditions; D of E Award; Christmas trip to a pantomime and most recently some older boys have taken part in the Millennium Volunteers Scheme.
