3rd Dromore Boys’ Brigade Company was founded in 1949 and is part of the Down Battalion of the Boys’ Brigade of Northern Ireland. We are based at Banbridge Road Presbyterian Church in Dromore, County Down, Northern Ireland. We aim to be a Christ Centred Organisation, doing the work of God, and to “Advance Christ’s Kingdom Among Boys.”

We meet in the Church halls on a Thursday evening:

6.30 – 7.30pm for Anchor Boys (P1 – P4)

7.15 – 8.30pm for Junior Section (P5 – P7)

8.00 – 10.00pm for Company Section (Year 8 – U6th)

The youngest age group of The Boys’ Brigade, from an early age they are introduced and participate in a wide range of activities within the organisation. They are given opportunities to learn, play, be creative and be introduced to the Bible. At Anchors we encourage the development of key skills to enable children to grow as individuals and explore their faith. Anchors provides a great opportunity to make and develop new friendships in an environment which is fun and inspiring.

Junior Section gives older children a chance to build and develop as individuals within the organisation and within the Company. The programme provides challenges, adventure and opportunities to learn and grow. The fun and engaging programme enables the children to work in a team and take more responsibility.

This age group has its own programme based on six areas: Get Active, Get Into the Bible, Get Creative, Get Learning, Get Adventurous and Get Involved. Young people get the chance to develop existing skills and learn new ones, through a fun, balanced and challenging programme of activities. Young people are encouraged to have a say and help shape their own programme. They can get involved in anything from helping others in their local community to playing sports, trying out adventure activities or being creative through dance or art – there’s something for everyone! There are also opportunities to go away on camps and residentials, which are often the highlights in the annual programme.
