5^th Dartford Scouts attended the Service of Remembrance at Memorial Gardens organised by Dartford Borough Council, taking part of the service and youth parade. Paying our respect and appreciation to those who have giving so much allowing us to live in a free and democratic country.

Although 5^th Dartford is not the oldest Scout group formed on 4^th December 1916, however the longest continuing running group through WWII with the Scouts taking an active part with Civil Defence of the town, being messengers and undertaking fire watch duties.

NB: Summer Camp 1939 was held in France, which apparently had to be called short due to increased diplomatic tensions. With their quick return they left all their camping equipment with the local church. They returned in 1947 and collected all their camping equipment intact, resuming their camp.
