If you are between 12 and 16 years old and interested in the work of the Legion, why not join us as a youth member?

As well as showing your support for the Armed Forces community, you can take part in parades as youth standard bearers, join a Legion band or become a majorette.

Youth membership is a one-off fee of £5 to join which will allow you to retain membership until you reach the age of 17 (after which full membership fees will apply).

To join contact Margaret Buttle on 01449 770353

If you are already a member of an organisation like the Guides, Scouts or one of the Cadet organisations you can affiliate the whole group to your with our branch.

Youth Group Affiliation

Branch affiliation enables members to work together with youth organisations on fundraising projects and promotes mutual community support.

Any youth organisation, whether it's uniformed or not, can become affiliated with our branch.

Youth Standard Bearer

Youth members can train to be a Youth Standard Bearer and take part in the National Youth Standard Bearer Competition.

The winner of the competition holds the position of The Royal British Legion National Youth Standard Bearer and attends events such as the Festival of Remembrance held at the Royal Albert Hall each year.
