The 44th Australian Infantry Battalion Memorial Inc. invites Scouts, Venturers, and supervising Adult Members to volunteer at a commemorative ceremony on the 23rd of November 2024 at the Perth War Cemetary in Nedlands.

Scouts and Venturers will be required to wear their full uniform. They are to arrive at 10:30am for an 11am start. Parents are asked to drop off & pick up their children (transport will not be provided).
