On Sunday 7th September 2014, Scouts from both Wednesday and Friday troops joined the WWI commemoration parade in Eastleigh town centre. This parade was also in recognition of the contribution Eastleigh made during the Great War through the hospital services it provided.
Others attending were members of the Royal British Legion, Eastleigh Guides, Eastleigh Scouts and Cadets, in addition ‘The Spitfires’ (14th Eastleigh Scout and Guide Band) were present playing their latest marching tunes. The parade culminated on Eastleigh recreation ground near the war memorial.
We are very proud that our scouts were able to mark this important event in Eastleigh’s history.
