The Scouts and The Royal British Legion
Our Poppy Partnership for 2025
The Royal British Legion supports the Armed Forces community, past and present. Scouts was active throughout the world wars and, as such, we want to support The Royal British Legion to remember those who've been and continue to be affected by conflict.
As Scouts we’re privileged to partner with them. This is why we created a joint product range for our members and their families to wear on Remembrance Sunday – and beyond.
What does the Two Petal Poppy Symbolise?
The first Poppy Appeal was held in 1921, the founding year of The Royal British Legion.
Red silk poppies, inspired by the famous first world war poem ‘In Flanders Fields’, sold out instantly and raised more than £106,000. The funds were vital, helping first world war veterans find employment and housing after the war. The following year, the Poppy Factory was set up. They employed disabled veterans to create poppies to sell during the appeal. Today, the factory still produces millions of poppies each year.
By wearing a poppy, you aren’t just remembering servicemen and women, you’re supporting a new generation of veterans and service personnel.
