St. George’s Day Parade

Just back from our District’s St. George’s day Parade. It is quite impressive to see so many young people from both the Guiding and Scouting Movements in one place. When we were parading, we couldn’t hear the band at the front for most of the time as they were so far away from us!

When we got to the Church, we filled it!

The theme of the ‘service’ was working together. I say ‘service’ as it was mainly a few hymns, including the Scout Hymn and the National Anthem, some songs, a sketch by the Beavers and the presenting of a Queen’s Scout Award. And of course we all renewed our promises.

Not a bad afternoon and it is good to be able to parade through Newcastle in such numbers and remind people that we’re still here and still providing interesting and different thing for our young people to do.
