On Sunday 8th November, our young people and volunteers came together to mark Remembrance Sunday, joining our local community to remember those who have served, those who have sacrificed and all those affected by conflict.
Representing 325th Birmingham (1st Billesley) Scout Group, our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts took part in the parade and service, showing their respect and recognising the importance of remembering those who gave so much for others.
It was a valuable opportunity for our young people to represent their group, support the local community and reflect on the sacrifices made by previous generations. Taking part in occasions like this helps us recognise the importance of service, kindness, respect and looking out for one another – values that sit at the heart of Scouting.
Today, on Remembrance Day, 11th November, we join people across the country in pausing at 11am for a two-minute silence. We remember the members of the armed forces who lost their lives in service, alongside all those affected by conflict.
We are incredibly proud of our young people for coming together and representing the group with such respect. A huge thank you to our volunteers, families and everyone who helped make the occasion possible.
Remembrance is about more than looking back. It is about recognising the importance of peace and carrying the lessons of the past into the future.
