Parents are welcome to stay and watch the event, which will take place in the park near the band stand.
Uniform?
All members are to wear full, smart uniform (smart trousers e.g. school trousers, no jeans etc. and school type shoes, not trainers).

Remembrance Day parade 2024
Remembrance Day parade 2024
Date & time
10th November 2024 10:00 am to 1:30 pm
Location
All members of the Group are expected to attend this parade unless they have an exceptional reason not to do so.
Where and when?
We’re meeting at the Scout Hut at 10am. The hut will be open from 9:45am.
For those attending Church, pick up at 1:30pm from the Scout Hut.
The plan
We’ll be parading from the Bedworth Ex Servicemen’s Social Club to the Cenotaph. We will then be walking to Church for the service. After the service we will then be parading back to Bedworth Ex Servicemen’s Social Club.
Uniform
Full & correct uniform must be worn and please make an extra special effort to ensure that uniforms are complete and especially smart.
Beavers need to wear full & correct uniform including black, navy blue or dark grey ‘school’ trousers and plain black footwear.
It is likely to be cold and as we will only be wearing coats if it is raining, it’s important therefore to wear extra layers of clothing under the uniform. Gloves can be worn if they are dark coloured.
Everyone is asked to wear a poppy.
Beavers & anybody unable to attend the church service
Pick up will be at 11:30am-ish from the the Scout Hut.
Please can we ask that parents/carers are collecting members from the Scout Hut as there is a lot of people movement straight after the cenotaph service.
