A great turnout with around 200 parents and just under 100 boys attending on the night. We welcomed Bill Stevenson as our Inspecting Officer; Bill is Acting CEO/ Brigade Secretary. Also attending on the night was Stewart Campbell who retired last year after over 30 years’ service to 1st Stewarton Company and helped with presenting the awards on the night. Each of the Sections put on items which consisted of games, drill, figure marching, stories and sketches. The highlight of the night was Presentation of 6 Queens Awards by Bill Stevenson, taking our total for 1st Stewarton to 65 Queens Men from 1985. junior section head to camp During the May weekend we headed down to Girvan for 3 days and 2 nights to Girvan North Parish Church. 20 Boys and 4 staff spent a weekend of fun and fellowship.
