The Uniform

Children in the Anchor Section wear a core uniform of a blue polo shirt and red sweatshirt. On some occasions, such as parades, members will wear school trousers and footwear as part of the uniform. Where do the badges go? You can find a diagram showing the positions of badges for this age group below:

Safe And Caring

All our adult volunteers undertake a disclosure (criminal records) check as part of their registration with The Boys’ Brigade, and are trained to provide a safe and caring environment for all children. First Aid provision is also always available.

What It Costs

For Anchor Boys, we charge a subscription which is collected weekly and is £1 per week. This said, we don’t want any child to miss out because of cost, so if you have any concerns about finance please speak to a leader in confidence about this.
