Anchor Boys Weekly Sessions Christchurch

All About Anchor Meeting- 5-7 yrs old

The Anchor Boys section of the 14th Christchurch Boys' Brigade provides structured support and guidance for young boys through engaging weekly activities. Led by dedicated leaders like contact person Stephen Gregory, these sessions offer a nurturing environment where children receive coaching in basic skills, teamwork, and personal development. As part of the Boys' Brigade youth-education program, the focus is on building confidence and friendships in a fun, supportive setting.

This activity is designed for boys aged 5-7, making it suitable for early primary school children. It involves a mix of games, learning exercises, and group interactions that promote social bonds and community involvement. Sessions run every Friday from 6:15pm to 7:15pm, lasting 60 minutes, and are open to all boys in the age group—no prior experience is needed. Entry is free, ensuring accessibility for families in the Beckenham area.

Participants benefit from the opportunity to connect with peers, develop social skills, and engage in a program that emphasises positive values and adventure. The Boys' Brigade structure encourages a sense of belonging, helping boys form lasting friendships while exploring educational themes. No specific requirements are needed beyond comfortable clothing for active play; parents can simply turn up or contact Stephen Gregory at 0274371565 for more details. With the 14th Christchurch BB operating three sections—Anchor Boys for 5-7, Adventure for 8-10, and Delta for 11-18—this entry-level group serves as a welcoming starting point for youth involvement in Canterbury's community scene.
