St George's Day Parade
27th April 2025
Open Air St George’s Day – bringing the whole District together.
Meet at the Stag Theatre Car Park from 2pm, parade sets off at 2.25pm.
We will march along the High Street then onto Seal Hollow Road, before turning down Plymouth Drive to Lady Boswell’s School where we will hold our Scouting promise renewal service and awards presentation on the playing field.
Park in the leisure centre car park before the parade, as there is a pedestrian exit from the school. Parents can watch from the side of the High Street then fall in behind the main parade to the school for the promise renewal ceremony and activity fun after the service.
Please use this link to:-
• Volunteer to support this event as a road marshal, to oversee an activity base or help lead the national anthem. Your Group Lead Volunteer will automatically be notified of your support
• Vote to guide the district with allocation of annual awards for groups and individuals
• Book Laser Tag activity for Scouts and Explorer Scouts - advance permission to take part is required, especially if unaccompanied.
Around 3.25pm, after the ceremony, Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs will be released back into their parents' care to take part in a series of short activities and challenge bases provided by each group, recording them on their own “passport” card which can then be returned to their own leaders to count against badgework.
We expect to be finished with all activities around 5pm.
Uniform should be worn. For more details of where to order, click here.
Smart school clothes are also fine if no uniform - please also dress for the weather – be it suntan lotion or waterproofs and bear in mind that most of the events are taking place on a football field.
Refreshments will be available at the event (hot and cold drinks plus hotdogs), with donations being collected for charity.
