Bud FAQs

Our Bud Learning & Outreach Officer will lead all sessions on board Bud and we may also have volunteers present.

Prior to a visit, the person who is arranging the visit can access all of our Poppyscotland education resources here: https://www.poppyscotland.org.uk/learning/resources

These can be used before a Bud visit or as follow up activities to complete afterwards.

Before your bud visit, please work with our Bud Coordinator to ensure you:

• Complete the online booking form.
• Complete the class schedule.
• Mark an appropriate parking location for Bud on the image provided.
• Return this information no later than ten working days prior to your visit.

We want to visit as many schools, community groups and events across Scotland and if you have received a Bud visit we would love you to shout about it! We would encourage you to liaise with local press and use your own social media channels to promote and share news of Bud’s visit to help us keep remembrance alive all year round.

Please ensure there is someone to meet the Bud Team on arrival and liaise with them throughout the day of the visit.

It would be appreciated if you could take the time to show the Bud Team where they can find the toilets, staff room, lunch options etc. as there are no facilities on board the truck.

Each session lasts approx. 30 minutes depending on the needs of the class.
A member of school staff must be on board Bud at all times.

Please ensure each class arrives a few minutes prior to each session, each session is tailored to the needs of the class and delays can cut sessions short.

Space is limited on board – where possible please leave belongings such as
backpacks and jackets in the classroom.
