Queens Badge Completion Course
Just finishing off the course after another busy morning of mental, physical challenges followed by a very competitive trading game. Now the work is done and 6 happy boys will soon be on their way home. Very proud of our 6 new Queen’s men.
Companies in the old Fraserburgh District of the Buchan Battalion are invited to attend the Fraserburgh Remembrance Sunday Parade and Church Service.
This will take place on Sunday, 13th November. Boys and Girls should meet at the Fraserburgh Royal British Legion (Hanover Street) for no later than 10am, the parade leaving at 10.15am for the Old Parish Church. It may be the town’s the last Remembrance ceremony in the town’s Kirk after a century, as the Church of Scotland seem adamant to close it to save them some money.
The service is expected to take about an hour (10.55am-12pm), after which the parade will march to the war memorial for a wreath laying ceremony. After this the parade will then return to the Legion building for approximately 12.45pm.
The Companies of the old Fraserburgh District include 1st, 4th, 5th Fraserburgh, 1st Sandhaven and 1st Rosehearty. Companies will parade under Battalion colours.
We look forward to seeing you on the 13th November.
Companies who normally attend commemorations at their own villages are encouraged to do so again this year, if commemorations are proceeding.
Well done to Andrew Strachan, 1st Fraserburgh Company, who was presented with his certificate and badge for undertaking 200 hours of voluntary service in the community. The award was presented by his Company Captain, Duncan Leel, on Friday night.
Andrew is a current Queen’s Badge candidate, hoping to complete in 2023. Part of the Queen’s Badge is to undertake 30 hours voluntary work in the community, so 200 hours is very much above and beyond!
The President and Executive of the Buchan Battalion congratulate Andrew on this fantastic achievement and thank him for his service to the community.
Well done to Ross Duthie, 1st Fraserburgh Company, who yesterday was presented with his Badge and Certificate for undertaking 200 hours of voluntary work in the Community.
He was presented with the award by his Company Captain, Duncan Leel, who pointed out that Ross had gone well over the usual 30 hours required for his Queen’s Badge.
Well done Ross! Well deserved!
Boys and Officers of the 1st Fraserburgh Company kept the light going at Kinnaird Head Lighthouse last night as part of the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses‘ three day celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Mrs Duthie switched the light on to begin the night and the party had to wind the machine to keep the light flashing.
Well done all!

QUEEN’S BADGE – JORDAN SMITH
The President and Executive of the Buchan Battalion congratulate Jordan Smith who tonight was presented with his Queen’s Badge, the highest award in the Boys’ Brigade.
Working towards his badge Jordan used his skills with technology to help his church deliver services and stepped up to help his company. He also learned to drive for his skill and improved his physical fitness in cycling.
Jordan had one last trick up his sleeve tonight by surprising our Battalion Secretary, Yvonne Duthie; she was absolutely delighted to learn that he wanted her to do the honour of presenting his award. As Captain Leel said, Jordan wanted Yvonne to present it as she had always helped him; from his days at school, up to now.
Congratulations Jordan on an award thats thoroughly deserved!
