The Anchor Activity Scheme is an addition to the programme for Anchor Boys. The aim of the Activity Scheme is to provide the boys with some recognition for their participation in the section programme.

The Activity Scheme uses material under the five following headings:

• • Body - fit for fun a variety of games and physical activities

  • Mind - think and do puzzles and quizzes, thinking games and treasure hunts, hobbies and collections

  • Spirit - God and me devotions, prayers and worship, bible stories and characters, and Christian festivals

  • Community - me and my world conservation, the local community, the church and helping others

  • Creativity - make and do crafts, simple cooking, and mime and drama

The new award scheme was introduced in 2004, the new activities and material is intended to be activity, rather than award-based. There are three badges - awarded in each year of Anchor Boys. The badges are worn on an armband. Upon transfer to Junior Section, the highest badge attained is worn on the Junior Section armband (bottom row), the badge then moves to the left arm upon joining Company Section.
