LEST WE FORGET 🌺

We are so proud of our volunteers and young people who took time to pause and remember on Sunday, joining remembrance services across our County.

Thank you for representing our community with such respect and pride.

#LestWeForget #RemembranceDay #GMWScouts

[Greater Manchester West Scouts @GMWScouts]

Today, we pause to remember the sacrifices of the past and renew our commitment to peace, unity, and helping others — values at the heart of Scouting.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” 🌺
