Event details:

To continue Woking District Scouts' connection with the Brookwood Last Post Association, we would like to invite you and your Beavers/Cubs/Scouts to attend this November's Last Post Ceremony at Brookwood Military Cemetery on [Sunday 3rd November 2024].  

As with the previous years, all Beavers/Cubs/Scouts need to arrive in full smart uniform with Poppy and gather on the cemetery side of Brookwood Rail station by 14:15, where we will form into our Groups to receive parade instruction and then parade down to the RAF memorial  in preparation for the ceremony starting precisely at 15:00.  

On the conclusion of the ceremony (around 15:20 hrs) everyone is invited to join us for light refreshments at the ‘Trench  Experience’ situated behind the RAF memorial.

On Sundays, there is ample (now chargeable) parking at Brookwood Railway Station or (more limited) free parking within the cemetery. All are welcome, including family members, to stay for this moving ceremony.
