Youth membership

Youth membership is a great way for young people to learn more about Remembrance whilst supporting the Armed Forces community.

Our diverse membership can share their experiences of life in the Armed Forces community and in doing so can help ensure that future generations remember those who served. 

I love being a member. I feel like part of the family and I've made so many new friends. Ellie, Royal British Legion youth member

Youth groups and local branches

Organisations like the Guides, Scouts or one of the Cadet organisations can become affiliated to a local Royal British Legion branch. This is another great way of sharing the experience of Legion membership with younger people.
