Camp



Preparing for Dinner


The 44th Glasgow Boys' Brigade Company have established a much-loved tradition of going to Seahouses for their annual camp. For most of the last 50 years, they have been enjoying being in the vicinity of Seahouses and Beadnell. During that time, they have enjoyed wonderful co-operation within the community.

Over the years, they have continued to improve the standard of equipment and accommodation and they provide a most impressive camp. The boys' families also visit on the second weekend and join the boys for Church Parade at the local Methodist Church. There is a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere in the camp.

In the vicinity are several beautiful beaches fringed by grass-covered sand dunes.
