Working with Ivybridge Branch of The Royal British Legion

All Sections Scouts/Cubs/Beavers and Leaders attending the Remembrance Parade in Ivybridge and laying wreaths on behalf of the Scout Group on Sunday 9^th November 2014.

Outcome:

The money raised this year through the collection tins for 1^st Ivybridge Scout Group was £1136.01

The buckets that were at Endsleigh for the bag packing brought in additional money.

The Group Scout Leader now attends the monthly meetings of the Ivybridge Branch to offer help from the Group and be fully aware of how the Scout Group can help the Branch.

1^st Ivybridge Scout Group has actively supported The Royal British Legion for many years and certainly during all my time with the Group (15 years)

This involvement has grown and has even involved representatives being invited to attend the Plymouth Branches Service of Remembrance at the Plymouth Pavilions to acknowledge our contribution and support.

As a Scout Group we feel it is important to ensure we involve the young people in the community and make them aware of the contributions and sacrifices that others have made.

The scouting presence at the Remembrance Parade also includes their families and this has supported a Town and community wide event that has increased the awareness of the fantastic work undertaken by The Royal British Legion.

The support of 1st Ivybridge Scout Group has not just started this year but has been an ongoing and a regular occurrence which is remembered by many as they return year on year from the young Beaver (6 yrs) to some of the service members who are ex members of the Group.
