Remembrance Day Parade 2021
It is with great pleasure that we are able to attend the Service of Remembrance at Page Park on Sunday 14th November.
We will meet as usual at the 28th Kingswood Scout Hut (Christchurch Avenue, BS16 5TG) at 9:20 to parade from there with the 28th and 85th Scout Group to Page Road to assemble with other units and the Salvation Band, who will lead the parade at 10:15. We will then parade along Staple Hill High Street behind the band and assemble at Page Park Cenotaph for the service, laying of wreaths and minute silence.
When this service has finished the Scout groups will parade to the Downend Cenotaph, the only Scout War Memorial on public land in the country, for a wreath laying and short service. This normally is finished by midday and this will be the collection point for parents.
It is imperative that each member is in FULL uniform (no jeans) and wearing their Poppy. Well turned out youngsters will be awarded the honour of being in the Standard Party which leads their pack and are front row at Page Park. Please wear warm clothing underneath uniform and only have a lightweight coat if raining. Parents are encouraged to walk along side on the pavements, but if you can’t attend please ensure your child’s name is recorded as such with a leader.
