For Remembrance Sunday

We don't publish at the weekend so this is the nearest to the day.

In normal times a highlight for many of us is the service usually held in a church for Remembrance Day


Members of the wider Scouting Family are in attendance such as Scouts and Brownies usually near the representatives of the Royal British Legion, local government representatives such as Councillors and Clerks and the Scouts lay a wreath with those others at the Cenotaph itself in a preset order. 

It is an honour to attend.


Normally there is a parade before the service and you may parade to the actual cenotaph which is often in a prominent spot in your town or village and Scouts and Brownies join in with he parade with service and ex service men and women.

These Scouts are from Crewe, Cheshire including on the left the Sea Cadets



The names of the dead in your area are read, the horn sounded and our representative lays the wreath 

We may not be able to be there doing it this year but we can and will mark it because Remembrance  matters on Sunday the Eighth of November.
