• We have a “News Time” where we share our news with one another.
• Our annual outing this year was to Beach Park near Pangbourne. There were adventure playgrounds, paddling pool, train ride and lots of animals to see.
• Summer meetings are spent at local parks playing games. Treasure hunts, mini sports.
• There are various competitions to enter such as Teams game and colouring in a picture.

Juniors

We have an Achievement scheme where we can gain badges for Adventure, Skills, Community and Physical. The programme includes arts and crafts, like music, games and sport.

The Junior Boys meet each week on Thursday evening. If you\’d like to come and join in, please email us on theeffes@live.co.uk

Junior section provides an exciting programme of leisure time activities, including sports such as football, unihoc, etc. We are also able to learn a brass instrument and can play in the Company Brass Band.

Seniors

Seniors is for Boys aged 11-18 years old, and meets on Monday evenings between 7:15 and 9:45pm at Chandlers Ford Methodist Church. There are currently around 18 members of the Company Section.

What do we get up to each week? Our typical programme includes a huge variety of things :

• Sometimes we get to go Bowling, or do other “themed” activities. Every third week rather than doing badge classes we have carried out activities as a whole section.
• We do a range of physical activities including badminton, table-tennis, recreational games and more!
• Are you between 14 and 23 this year? If so, you could take part in the Duke of Edinburgh\’s Award scheme that we run.
• There are some Company Section Competitions in South West Hampshire. These include the Cross Country, and 6-a-side Football!
