Our founder, Lord Baden-Powell, designated St. George as the patron saint of Scouting as he set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance. Scouts from around the world will renew their promises on this day and remind themselves of what it means to be a scout, a member of the largest youth movement in the world. It is an expectation that all young people will make every effort to attend this event.
It is also our opportunity to celebrate everything our members have achieved during the year, and we present awards to our youth and adult members.

Parade
Group will parade in order, with the youngest section first, i.e. beavers, followed by cubs, then scouts and then Explorers. It is up to the discretion of the Squirrel & Beaver Scout Leaders, along with the Group Scout Leaders, if they wish their Squirrels & Beavers to parade.
Full uniform is required for the parade. Coats should only be worn if it is raining or below 8ºC, and therefore young people should wear layers (i.e. thermal vest) underneath their uniform. Gloves are recommended; however, hats are not permitted.
Everyone is reminded that we will be on public display and that our conduct should reflect this.
Talking on parade should be restricted to the control of members. Smoking is not permitted, nor is the wearing of AirPods or headphones, etc.
