On Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, 12 boys from 2nd Polmont Boys’ Brigade company joined nearly 2000 others participating in the Juniors 140 Sleepover, across 100-plus locations around the UK, in celebration of a special anniversary.

During the evening the boys were challenged to take on a number of ‘Minute to Win It’ activities, got thinking and finished 17th in the Juniors 140 Sleepover Quiz from over 75 entries and had the opportunity to dial in to a huge online gathering of the sleepovers, where we were able to check in with some of the groups, take part in some challenges and hear a message from Christian magician Paul Brown.

The boys enjoyed pizza and cake for supper and after an exciting evening most were asleep by midnight.

In the morning the boys enjoyed breakfast and more games before heading home.

The Sleepover was part of the 140th anniversary celebrations of The Boys’ Brigade which began on October 4, 1883. From one group founded in Glasgow, the BB has since spread across the country and around the world, positively impacting the lives of millions of people and helping children and young people to live ‘Life to the Full’.
