The Scouts and Explorers will be selling poppies and collecting money for the Royal British Legion on Leigh Broadway, in the run up to Remembrance Day.

If you’re along the Broadway during the day please stop and say hi!
When: Sat 2 Nov – 10:00 to 17:00.
Where: Leigh Broadway
Wear: Full uniform, with poppy. Dark coat if raining.
Who: Sea Scouts (Renown & Solebay Troops) and Explorer Sea Scouts.
Can you help?
Sign up by adding your name to the sign up sheet that’s been emailed out (link also on the members facebook group) next to the times you can do. You can do more than one slot, and we need 2-3 Scouts/Explorers per period.
If you have any trouble or questions please just drop Chris D a message by email, or WhatsApp to +44 1702 476890.
This activity counts towards the Fundraising and World Challenge badges.
The Detail
If your’re able to help, please meet us on The Broadway at your allotted time – we’ll likely move around a little bit, but will be between The Co-Op and St Clements Church.
Please wear full uniform, including a poppy (above the bow on your cap tally), and wear a few layers under your uniform jumper to keep warm. It’s forecast to be dry, but we live in the UK so this can change – if it looks like it may rain then bring a dark coloured coat.
This is a great opportunity to support a very worthwhile cause, plus it’s a fun and rewarding activity, so please do help support your Group and community if you can.
