During their time in Anchors, the boys will work towards gaining badges for their armband (part of the Boys' Brigade uniform). The topics covered are varied and include practical skills, like tying shoe laces and even a bit of cookery!

We also have an annual display evening, held at at the Church in May, where the Company puts on an evening of events to entertain parents and families.

Being a Christian organisation we invite and encourage our boys and families to join us at church on Sundays and with other activities offered by the church. More details can be on the church website.
