Community
The 1st Bearsden Boys Brigade has been present in the Bearsden community for 110 years and has maintained a visible presence throughout that period. Our strength in Bearsden is continuing to steadily grow. Only recently our anchor boys section was expanded into Baljaffray and our company now has two anchor boy sections to meet demand.
Churches
The 1st Bearsden is connected with six churches in Bearsden
and parades to each one regularly. We often lend our support to the local churches in whatever way we can; often our pipe band plays at church events such as plant sales or activity days.
Burn Tidy
In 2006 we rolled up our sleeves and put our gloves on for a clean up of the burn that runs by the Glebe car park next to our hall. A large group of us trawled the length of the burn removing all types of rubbish that had built up over some length of time. Although it might have been a hard days work, the result of everyone's efforts was there for all to see.
Monthly Car Wash
On the last Saturday of every month we have a car washing morning in the Glebe car park. For a small fee, we'll give your car a complete wash and rinse while you go shopping around Bearsden cross. We start at 9:30am and finish at mid-day.
Highland Games clear-up
After the 2007 Milngavie and Bearsden Highland games, the 1st Bearsden was part of the clean-up operation that followed the day after. The rubbish that was left by the crowds at the rugby fields in Milngavie was picked up the next morning by a small group of boys from the company section.
