Today, Scouts across Humberside have taken time to pause, reflect, and remember. Remembrance isn’t about big speeches or grand gestures — it’s about taking a moment to show respect, to be thankful, and to recognise the sacrifice made by so many.
Across the county, our young people have joined with their groups, families, and communities to mark Remembrance Day in a way that felt meaningful: standing quietly, laying wreaths, wearing poppies, and remembering together.

Why Remembrance matters in Scouting
In Scouts, we talk a lot about values — respect, kindness, service, and looking out for others. Remembrance Day is one of those moments where those values become very real.
It’s a chance for young people to understand that:
- freedom and peace have a cost
- service to others matters
- remembrance is about learning as well as honouring
- we all have a role in shaping a kinder, safer future
A county-wide moment of respect
From towns and villages to schools, churches, memorials and community spaces, Scout groups have represented Humberside with pride. Whether it was the smallest Beaver standing still for the first time, a Cub reading a poem, or an Explorer helping with parade duties — every act of remembrance matters.
You’ll see photos alongside this post from groups across the county, capturing those moments: poppies, flags, wreaths, and that unmistakable Scout smartness when it counts.
Thank you to our volunteers and communities
A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who supported young people to take part, and to the local communities who welcomed Scouts into their services and parades. These moments take planning, patience, and teamwork — and they help young people understand the importance of showing respect in the wider world.
Lest we forget
As we share these photos, we do so with gratitude and respect — remembering those who served, those who never came home, and those who continue to serve today.
Lest we forget.
