St George's day is celebrated on the 23rd April with the majority of celebrations taking place on the nearest Sunday. Saint George became the Patron Saint of The Scout Association, as Robert Baden-Powell believed that he set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance.
In preparation for the event, our Beaver Scouts made shields and swords to wear during the district parade, which took place on Sunday 22nd April 2007.
The parade was led by St George on horseback followed by Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Ranger Guides, Brownies. Each section carrying their own section flag.
The service was held at St James Church, Accrington. Each of the Laws where read by a Beaver, a Cub and a Scout and representatives from the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides. The Promises where also renewed, led by the respective Commissioners.
Two of our Beaver Scouts also received their Chief Scout’s Bronze Award presented by the Deputy Mayor.
