The Boys’ Brigade Remembers
Sunday 12th November 2023This week thousands of members of The Boys’ Brigade have taken part in activities and events as we remember all those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
A contingent of young people and leaders from 41st Edinburgh, 3rd Falkirk, 1st Loanhead, 31st Northampton and 1st Tewkesbury represented the Brigade at the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on Whitehall in London. Taking place on the morning of Remembrance Sunday, the event was broadcast live on the BBC and included a march past and the laying of wreaths.
In addition, Brigade members took part in Remembrance events in their local Churches, schools and communities. Events have included services, civic commemorations, taking part in collections for the Poppy Appeal, and lots more.
Children and young people have also been getting involved as part of their regular programme of activities, learning about Remembrance and why it is important as well as getting creative by making Remembrance-themed displays.
BB groups have been posting about their involvement in Remembrance on social media. We encourage groups to post and tag The Boys’ Brigade, and use hashtags #WeWillRememberThem and #BoysBrigade. You can also email us at newsdesk@boys-brigade.org.uk
