Relay

Races

BGCCB youth learned about water skills training, beach safety, seaward-flowing water currents, and other coastal hazards. This decreases their chances of experiencing imminent dangers and risks, such as rip currents at our beaches.

Although our youth may not fully understand who Queen Elizabeth II was; they knew enough about her and wanted to know more about her life. After a brief history of her reign in the British Monarch, BGCCB youth chose to honor her 70 years of services.

Relay races are a really fun way to not only keep youth active and playing; but they also contribute to the enhancement of youths motor skills, teamwork, cooperation and social skills. These dynamic courses were design, built, and conquered by BGCCB youth.
