The Anchor Boys programme is packed with games, crafts, music, stories and activities specifically aimed at their age. The Anchor Boys offers for many the first chance to work together, to co-operate in a joint activity and to work (or play) as a team. Boys therefore spend a majority of the evening doing activities through the 5 core types of play. The Anchor Activity Scheme is a new addition to the programme for Anchor Boys. The aim of this scheme is for Boys to gain their awards as they take part in the usual section programme. The activity Scheme uses materials under the 5 following headings:

• Body - fit for fun
  Variety of games and physical activities.
   
• Mind - think and do
  Puzzles, quizzes, thinking games, treasure hunts, hobbies and collections.
   
• Spirit - God and me
  Devotions, prayers, bible stories and characters.
   
• Community - me and my world
  Conservation, the local community, the church and helping others.
   
• Creativity - make and do
  Cafts, simple cooking, mime and drama.

Above all Anchor Boys is about having fun, learning new skills and making new friends.
