Boys’ Brigade – Anchor Boys (P1-P3)

About this event

Within our church we have a two very healthy and active Boys’ Brigade Companies, Glasgow 231 and Glasgow 278. Both companies have a separate Anchor Boys and a Junior Section. In Company Section 231 and 278 meet jointly. All sections follow age group appropriate programmes based on six areas: get active, get into the bible, get creative, get learning, get adventurous and get involved. The Battalion provides enormous resource of activities and support which each section can access as well as opportunities to attend competitions and events. The adventure begins in Anchor Boys from the ages of 5 to 8, the Boys are recognised by their red sweatshirts and often red faces after an exciting and energetic session. They meet and engage in lots of fun, games and activities, quizzes and crafts. They are introduced to the Bible and listen and learn from different stories. Highlights include annual colouring competitions, Halloween and Christmas parties, pancake day and achieving badges throughout the session culminating in the annual display and parents evening which is always great fun. The Boys then progress to the Junior Section, which involves Boys from the age of 8 to 11. This section can be recognised by their royal blue sweatshirts.
