Come to BB its all inspiring

Its an organsiation to do with the Lord

We aim for the highest to gain our award!

Blue and black our uniform mix,

make sure we look sharp and mix

We start at a quarter to eight,

the wrath of Rory if we are late!

Fall in follows into our squads,

Inspection starts at eight o clock

We then split into masses

to form our classes!

Community, recreation and skill

these are the badges we aim to fullfill!

Classes complete, we reform and re-meet to formerly salute and beat a retreat!

Formal night over time to get changed,

we play lots of games of a various range,

snooker and pool, cricket and footy,

then back home tired to recharge with a butty!
