Sponsored Walk for Hyndburn District Explorer Scouts

On Sunday 10th May 2009, about 19 of us including Explorer Scouts, Scouts, Parents, Leaders and Pets turned up in full pirate costume to take part in the Oswaldtwistle and Church Rotary Sponsored Charity Walk.

We had a great day and the weather was kind. We had loads of laughs and managed to raise approximately £1100.

We where also joined by Julie Hesmondhalgh who plays Haley Cropper in Coronation Street, who also set off the walk for the event.

We still await the outcome of the prize for best fancy dress !!

Finally, thank you to everybody who sponsored us!

I'm sure further information will be updated on the official website soon :-

St Georges Parade 2009

This years St Georges Parade took place on the 26th April 2009.

Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Brownies and Rainbows turned out, each carrying their own section flag, serenaded along, as always by the bagpies !

The service took place at the Town Hall Accrington and was attended by the Major of Hyndburn

Eyes right for the Major boys!








Thanks to the parents who brought their boys along, many of you also walked along with us throughout the parade - it was lovely.
