Poppy day (11-11)
Once a year we gather as scouts (and cubs) to honour all of those who have died in the wars on the Sunday closest to poppy day.
We form up on parade along with the army, NSRI and the MOTHs. Numerous parties than lay wreaths around the memorial. Josie and Elizabeth then went up lay down our wreath.
Speeches were than made and scouts and cubs began to get a bit weary in the sun, but they were all happy to receive ice-cream afterwards.
