8th Gillingham Scouts

We are the 8th Gillingham, a large and active North Kent Scout Group. Always looking for new ideas and activities for our young people & adults. #SkillsForLife

[8th Gillingham Scouts @Scout8th]

Due to #COVID19 we are not running our usual programme of activities. We have a whole new programme adapted to help everyone #StayHomeSaveLives, see our #Facebook pages, and @OnlineScoutMgr for details of how to keep #scouting. #TheGreatIndoors #skillsforlife #8thGillinghamScouts

To stay safe, some of us may need to be physically apart, but love holds us together.

Friday’s #WorldKindnessDay is an opportunity to show solidarity and prove how small acts of kindness can go a long way during the pandemic.

[Kent Community Foundation @KentCommunity]

Great to have more support for our #KnockandCheck campaign.

Take a look at small (and safe) actions you can take, even during lockdown, which will make a big difference to those elderly and isolated. https://t.co/LPPQTWozyR

Despite the lockdowns you can still honour the service and sacrifice of all who have served in our Armed Forces. Join the nation in Remembrance and observe the #TwoMinuteSilence from your doorstep at 11am ➡️ https://t.co/snX681GqAV

Reminder: we will be live streaming from the #HMSCavalier Monument from 1045 - 1100 to commemorate #ArmisticeDay. We hope you can join us.

The Spire will be lit red this evening for Armistice Day. They shall not grow old, neither the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, we will remember them. ⁦@RochesterCathed⁩ ⁦⁦@SeeOfRochester⁩

Former Scout Jack Cornwell was fatally injured at the Battle of Jutland but with his crew killed around him stayed at his post in case he was needed. Posthumously awarded the VC Jack’s bravery inspired Scouting’s highest gallantry award still awarded today https://t.co/R1HITxUaWy

Vera Barclay had become a Scout leader in 1912 aged 19 years and opened one of the pioneering Cub packs in 1914. During the First World War she became a Red Cross nurse and kept up her Scouting encouraging other women to do the same. https://t.co/n67RzaFox3

Roland Philipps died 7 July 1916 on the Somme. As Scout leader in East London he bought a house in Stepney asking that if the worst should happen it be left to the Scouts that legacy still benefits young people today https://t.co/QcCBeBcHMt #WeWillRememberThem #RemembranceSunday

This year the Remembrance Day service at St Matthew’s Church Wigmore is online. Here’s a photo of their Remembrance cross at dusk. Our young people have been creating poppy pebbles at home to lay at the foot of the cross. #RemembranceSunday #WeWillRememberThem @SeeOfRochester

If you can't take part in Remembrance services and events today, you can still honour the service and sacrifice of all who have served in our Armed Forces. Join the nation in Remembrance and observe the Two Minute Silence from your doorstep at 11am ➡️ https://t.co/snX681GqAV
