As well as continuing to support national priorities in terms of young people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing, the programme is placing great emphasis on children and young people having fun.
The Banffshire and Buchan Coast even had a go at mastering new card tricks as part of this week’s #BBatHOME activity programme.
Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP, said:
“Helping children and young people to have fun is something that is arguably more important than ever in the current unsettling times.

“#BBatHOME is a great initiative and allows the whole family get involved, encouraging the boys to stay active and connected while staying safe and they can even pick up a few more badges in the process.”
