The company is currently thriving, with over 50 officers and boys. I need to find out the exact numbers, but we currently have around the following:
![]() | Anchor Boys: | 12. | ![]() | Helpers & Officers: | 3 plus 1 senior boy. |
![]() | Junior Section: | 16. | ![]() | Helpers & Officers: | 5. |

![]() | Senior Boys: | 1. | |||
![]() | Total Boys: | 41. | ![]() | Total No. Staff: | 8+1. |
Our Current Captain, Mrs Rosie Pike, has been in the BB for more years than she cares to remember (not as many as my Mum though!). She took over from the Previous Captain, Mr Bryan Jervis ('BJ') in 1995.
The Company also has it's own President, Mr Stan Collet, who was around in the very early days, although I don't know how many years ago exactly! He is also a former Captain.
I don't know whether 1st Weston has any Famous old-boys, but if I find out, I'll be sure to add it to this page.
Apparently we do! Although he isn't exactly an old-boy, Paul Montacute used to be involved with the company, and he is now Director of Baptist World Aid, with the Baptist World Alliance in the US. He is also an Honorary Vice-President of the West-of-England District.

We are always willing to accept new members, and hope they will enjoy our fun program combining games, classes and fellowship.
The company also provide a full summer session, with many fun activities organised, culminating in the annual camp. We try to mix sport with treasure hunts, adventure games, and Barbecues. These are organised at various locations around Weston, and let us make the most of the warm summer evenings.
Our Camps normally match the summer program, but all squashed into a single week. We try to make sure that the boys are occupied for most of the time, but we also give them enough free time to enjoy each others company, and relax in a pleasant, safe atmosphere.
