The Junior Section programme is a full and varied one. During a typical evening we will have physical activities with Boys taking part in our Awards scheme. The Junior Award Scheme is a part of the programme for Junior Section Boys. The aim of this scheme is to run alongside the normal section programme, with the focus being for Boys to have a time of fun and enjoyment. The Junior Award Scheme uses materials under the 5 following headings:

• Body - fit for fun
  Variety of games and physical activities.
   
• Mind - think and do
  Puzzles, quizzes, thinking games, treasure hunts, hobbies and collections.
   
• Spirit - God and me
  Devotions, prayers, bible stories and characters.
   
• Community - me and my world
  Conservation, the local community, the church and helping others.
   
• Creativity - make and do
  Crafts, simple cooking, mime and drama.

This scheme gives Boys the chance to try new skills, activities and interests. It is an all round balanced programme, tailored in line with the Boys’own level of ability, with Boys working individually and in groups. On a Battalion basis we hold competitions and events such as football and often hold larger special events with Boys from Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

There may also be the chance for Boys to go away overnight or for a weekend as a group.
