Global Round-up
Wednesday 21st July 2021A snapshot of what is going on in BB and Global Fellowship member organisations around the globe:
Michael Good, National Director of The Boys’ Brigade & ICONZ New Zealand, recently retired after almost 10 years in the role. Richard Harkness, National President, commented: “It has been a real honour to have Michael as the National Director for almost 10 years. He has kept a steady hand on the leadership of our organization as we have embraced the growth of ICONZ New Zealand Units across the country while continuing to maintain support for the traditional BB Companies that have remained. In this time we have seen both new BB Companies and ICONZ Units start up.”
Members of 1st and 23rd Bahamas came together for a joint session, which included working on a farming plot in the grounds of St. Barnabas Church.
Seniors and leaders at 2nd Pathum Thani in Thailand served the local community by clearing litter, which will help to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in the area.
BB members in Australia got the opportunity to look to the sky and check out a lunar eclipse which was visible in the area. Members at 1st Moreton Bay in Queensland even managed to get a group selfie with the eclipse!
The Boys’ Brigade in Niue (an island in the South Pacific ocean) is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and marked the occasion with a special edition of stamps produced by the New Zealand Post Office.
It has been great to see our programme resources being used around the world – here are members of 108th New South Wales in Australia getting creative by making their own lightsabers and taking on some Jedi training. May the force be with them!
