I'm a civilian, but as a Scout leader I arrange for our group to take part in the local Remembrance Sunday parade each year.

Week in week out at meetings the boys are 'challenging' to say the least but last Sunday they made me proud of them. We had a bigger turnout than for any camp and their behaviour was exemplary. On a troop night uniforms are hidden under coats on the way to the meeting for fear of ridicule, but on Sunday they were proudly worn parading through the town.

Deep down, and it is well hidden sometimes, they care - just like the rest of us.
