Remembrance Sunday

The annual rememberance parade will take place in Wardle on Sunday 10th November. We will meet in the Scout HQ at 2pm (it will be difficult to get up into the village square after this time). Wardle Road normally closes to vehicles around 13:30).

Here is the timescale for the event:

2pm Meet Scout HQ 

2:20 parade assembles

2:30 Parade sets off

3:00 arrive at Wardle Cenotaph

3:30 set off back

4pm parade dismiss

Smart uniform with layers underneath. Navy activity trousers are a most practical part of our uniform but if your scout does not own a pair, smart navy or black trousers can be worn. If it’s raining then navy waterproof jacket and pants are the most suitable to keep the young people dry.  The parade gives the young people the opportunity to remember those who gave their lives or were injured in conflict to give us the opportunities we have in our own lives.

To ensure the safety of all those taking part in the parade please ensure that you don’t cross in the path of the parade whilst we are walking. Parents are invited to walk on the outside of our parade lines but please don’t crowd the young people in the parade.  Te purpose of parent’s being on our outside is to protect the young people from the crowd of people

We take a group photo at the end of the parade and need to ensure the young people in our care are safe at all times so please don’t take your child out of the parade whilst we are walking as we have no way of tracking who has done this and who should still be with us.
