'Camps' have become for most BB Sessions, a yearly occurance.

OLD CAMP PHOTO"One early innovation was to hold a camp - at the time, public opinion was aghast at the idea of Boys camping out in the "wilds"! The first camp by the 1st Glasgow company was held in a building at Tighnabruach on the Kyles of Bute in 1886. William Smith was an experienced yachtsman, and each squad had its own craft - it was a sight indeed to see the boats in nautical array on the placid waters of Bute. Camping spread rapidly and camping under canvas soon became the normal order of the day. Often camping became looked to as the crowning of the company's year. " - taken from the BB UK Site.

In the 51st, the annual Camp is often the crowning of the BB year. Things have changed since 1886 - and we now take the boys in Company and Junior section to the "wilds" of Hawick, Grantshouse, Stirling, Wales , Austria and if we are stuck we have ended up in some parts of England!

Below are some pics of recent camps of the company and junior sections - enjoy!
