DRESS CODE - FULL UNIFORM
Please be mindful of the type of activity this is for both events. We require you in full uniform with School Style shorts in Blue (preferred), Grey or Taupe (Sandstone) optional.
Please ensure the length is appropriate.
Water will be available at the start and end - no camel packs to be worn and preferred drink bottles not carried as it is only a short walk. Also have your charges sun screened up before we start.
WHAT IT MEANS
This year marks 100 years since WWI was declared in Europe in August 1914. It would take another 8 months before the legends of the ANZACS were born - hence why 2015 will be another major year and bigger than most.
It is important we understand the significance of the day and ensure we are dressed accordingly to show respect for those who returned in all wars and especially for those who did not. As we are out in public we want to put on the show and ensure we enjoy the moments and soak up the atmosphere. I know those who march always get a buzz from it.
Yours in Scouting,
