Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today. On this day people across the nation pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave Service men and women.
This morning in North Baddesley the uniformed organisations including 15th North Baddesley Scout Group, joined with the people of the village at the war memorial outside St. John the Baptist Church. There the names of those who died in the two World Wars and came from the village were read out. During the two minutes silence we also brought before God all service men and women who are still involved in conflicts in the world and the families who wait for their safe return.
The 21st Nursling and Rownhams Scout Group attended their local Remembrance Service
at St John's Church in Rownhams. Although it was a cold but bright morning, over 60 members
of the group were there with each section represented by at least 20
children. All were really well behaved and looked very smart. Members
of the congregation commented on how good it was to see the young
people attending as well as saying that they were a credit to the
Scouting Movement.
Well done to all the leader team for such an impressive display of Scouting.
