Scouts from across Midlothian attended Remembrance services at Gorebridge, Dalkeith, Newtongrange, Penicuik, Rosewell, Bonnyrigg, Glencorse, Lasswade and Danderhall, joining their local communities to honour all those who have served and given their lives in conflict.
Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and their adult volunteers turned out in their uniforms and neckers, many braving the wet weather, to march alongside veterans, cadets and local organisations. Across the district our young people carried their group flags, laid poppy wreaths at local war memorials and stood together for the two minutes’ silence.
Scotland’s Festival of Remembrance
Also, 20 Scouts from Rosewell attended Scotland’s Festival of Remembrance at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh last night.
Thank you
Huge thanks to all those that attended and volunteered to make it all possible: the young people, parents and carers, and the leaders and volunteers who organised each group’s part in the services. Taking part in Remembrance is an important way for our young people to learn about the past and play a part in their community.
We Will Remember Them.
