8th Kuching Company & 1st Bau Company Boys' Brigade Junior Orientation Camp

On 17 th (Saturday) to 18 th (Sunday) March, 8 th Kuching Company & 1 st Bau Company Boys' Brigade Junior section had a wonderful camping at Petra Methodist Church, Bau.

There were 21 boys and 7 officers involved in the camp. The theme for this camp is ‘Living Stone' and the theme song is ‘I'm in God Army'.

After the 8 th Kuching Company reached Petra Methodist Church , ice-breaking was started to let the boys know each others. After warming up, more vigorous games were conducted under the hot late afternoon scorching sun. With the help from officers, the boys learnt how to set up the tents. In the evening, officers taught the boys the theme song; ‘I'm in God Army' with action and ‘The Anchor Song'.

The next morning, on 18 th March (Sunday), the Boys attended the Sunday Parade at Petra Methodist Church . The Boys presented the 2 songs in the service. After Church Service, the 8 th Kuching Company was about to leave. The Boys were taught BB handshake and give each other a brother hug as farewell bid. In order to fully utilize the trip, 8 th Kuching Company decided to continue their journey to Bau town for a brief tour. The Boys and officers visited to the landmark (introduction to gold-mining history), museum in which the Boys learnt more about the cultures of Bidayuh tribe, ex-gold mining site – Tasik Biru, and finally the 150steps of staircase to Fairy Cave.

The Camp trip was very enriching for the Boys and officers as well as we all enjoyed the fellowship with each other.
