Since the beginning 2011 while I was still working with BBM Headquarters, I frequently made trips to Seremban to conduct BB meetings at the Wesley Methodist School Seremban, a private school owned by the Methodist Church.
The company was first formed in 1961 at the Wesley Methodist Church Seremban and the Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) which shares the same compound. Although the BB made quite a big impression on the community of Seremban, it went defunct a decade later for reasons unknown (most likely the unavailability of officers). Right now, we're in the midst of getting the 1st Seremban Company revived by April 2012.
With easily over 30 Boys, the Target program has been running smoothly since 2011 and it is due for completion in March, an a fresh in-take of recruits in 2012 - the company is steadily growing, though not yet registered.
However, a piece of good news came a few days ago as a nearby church which happens to be 1st Seremban's original sponsor - Wesley Methodist Church Seremban, finally agreed to be it's sponsoring authority once again. They were even able to confirm a captain, chaplain and two officers as they transition from a weekday to normal weekend parades when volunteers can enter.

Since before I started working full-time, 1st Seremban has always been on my cards due to its proximity to where I live. I thank God that has happened sooner than I expected. I hope and pray that this company will keep on going forward and that registration will be uneventful.
