Remembrance and activities

 

This year it was very different for all of us who take part in Remembrance Sunday and no doubt many Scouts stood outside to pay our respects on Sunday at Eleven am as I did.

This year with the changed circumstances the Scouting Association amongst others have been doing things to engage with members such as Sowing a Poppy, Sowing Poppy Wreath from felt or making a Paracord poppy which is one way to show your craft skills while marking Remembrance together.

There are also opportunities to learn about The Unknown Soldier who plays a big part in how we mark Remembrance, test your Semaphore skills and hold a Remembrance reflection, thinking about it means.

Like V.E. Day which I wrote about there is also an opportunity to guess the WW2 era Scout Badges exploring how Scouts used their skills to help communities during the second world war.

These can be done online, indoors or outdoors with social distancing indicated and necessary to keep everybody safe.
