Planting
Following the service, crocuses were planted around the stump of a tree that had been planted to celebrate Girlguiding’s Golden Jubilee, but sadly had to be felled.
Over in Bearsden, 1st and 2nd Killermont Rainbows, 2nd, 2nd A and 20th Bearsden Brownies, and 2nd and 7th Bearsden Guides joined the congregation of Boclair Community Church for a Remembrance service. They then paraded past the church alongside the Boys’ Brigade and Scouts.
Also taking part in a Remembrance service in their community were 3rd Campsie Guides, who laid a wreath.
A spokesperson for Girlguiding Dunbartonshire said: “Participating in the Remembrance services is a meaningful experience for our girls. It’s important for them to learn about and honour those who have made sacrifices.”
