Get active - somerset

The Get Active Day was organised through Boys’ Brigade HQ.  Somerset Battalion were fortunate enough to be offered the second day to be run in England.  The vast majority of Somerset companies were able to attend along with a company from Torquay.  The event was held at Yeovil College Sports Centre.  At least fifty young people attended.  There were 17 challenges some using your mind, some physical and all involving team work.  Some really required concentration whilst others, especially those involving water made it hard to focus.  There was much fun and laughter and because companies worked in mixed teams many new friendships were made.  The team from HQ and our local leaders all worked hard and the results were plain to see from the enthusiasm of the boys.  It was a brilliant day and one intend to do again.  The behaviour and comradeship of the boys was a real credit to the Boys’ Brigade.
