Remembrance Weekend 2022

Post date: Nov 4, 2022 4:02:00 PM

Many of you will be aware we normally do Poppy Selling with encouraging our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to take part. This will be our first year back properly since 2019. It will be slightly different as the Radlett Poppy Appeal has lost its team running the appeal, so we are doing it in conjunction with the Borehamwood appeal. It will mean that their will not be much other Poppy Appeal in Radlett other than this.
We will selling poppies in Watling Street in aid of Royal British Legion on Saturday 12th November. We will be based by the War Memorial.  We will be selling between 11am and 2pm, so Beavers, Cubs and Scouts could come for ½ hour or 1 hour slots in uniform. Anyone under 14 will need an adult with them, some leaders will be present but any parents who can help with their child would be greatly appreciated. 

Then on Sunday 13th November we will be taking part with parading along Watling Street, with other Scouts and Guides to the War Memorial and take part in the Act of Remembrance. Please could your child attend in his uniform with a poppy, if cold please wear extra layers under the uniform so it can be seen, rather than hidden under a coat. We will meet at the Radlett Centre at 10:15 ready to march to the War Memorial at 10.30, where the service will begin at 10:45. This is an opportunity for us as a Scout group to be seen working in the community.
