In a touching tribute ahead of Remembrance Day, our Scouts channeled their creativity into crafting poppy wreaths. Each wreath is a symbol of respect, honoring the sacrifices made by those who served. The Scouts' thoughtful and meticulous approach to this project reflects not only their artistic abilities but also their understanding of the importance of commemoration.
