The core age range for Anchors is from 5 to 8 years, although we do enrol from 4 years old if they have started school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This age group has its own programme based on six areas: Get Active, Get Into the Bible, Get Creative, Get Learning, Get Adventurous and Get Involved. The emphasis is on fun and programme activities include games, crafts, stories and opportunities to learn and share in new experiences. Throughout their time in the Anchor Section, children can gain badges and recognition for their participation in the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children in Anchors wear a core uniform of a blue polo shirt and red sweatshirt. On some occasions members will wear school trousers and footwear as part of the uniform, but check with your local group. Where do the badges go? You can find a diagram showing the positions of badges for this age group here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All our adult volunteers undertake a disclosure (criminal records) check as part of their registration with The Boys\u2019 Brigade, and are trained to provide a safe and caring environment for all children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The core age range for Anchors is from 5 to 8 years, although we do enrol from 4 years old if they have started school.
