The Anchors are the youngest section of our company, age 5-8 years (school years 1-3, although some groups take members in reception, please check with individual groups).  Like the other sections they also complete a number of skills, this earns them the Anchors  achivement award.

Our uniform is a blue polo shirt and a bright red sweatshirt that makes us hard to miss!

A typical Anchors night will start off with games, after this the lads can work on achievements or participate in Arts and Crafts. Being in Anchors is all about having fun - and there is plenty of opportunity for that!
