(Remembrance Day Parade & Cheque Presentation)
4th Rochford Scouts Remembrance Day Church Parade!!!
8th November 2015
There was a fabulous gathering at St. Andrew’s Church in Rochford, of Leaders, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts (totalling about 50), along with their families for the Remembrance Day Service!
All the kids were very respectful at the Service and especially during the 2 minute silence. They also laid a wreath at the Church to remember all those that lost their lives.
Afterwards, the entire Group marched to the War Memorial in Rochford, where they joined the Fire Brigade, St. John’s Ambulance and other members of the Public for another short Service and to observe a further 2 minute silence. They also laid another wreath at the foot of the Memorial.
(Editor’s note: Well done, Scouts, good to see you at the heart of the community’s life)

Although it was terribly cold in the gale force winds, the rain held off and the crowds had a lovely afternoon browsing the stalls and watching the great entertainment on the stage!
