Sun
shines on St George’s Day Parade
The Scouting
Spirit was certainly on show again at our annual St George’s Day
celebrations. We were so lucky with the weather with the sun shining during
and after the service.
Can I
congratulate all of Worcester Scout District especially all the Scout Groups
and Units for a superb turnout. The numbers attending seemed greater than
ever with Worcester Cathedral packed to capacity. In particular I would like
to thank everyone at 1st Worcester Scout Group for organising and hosting
this year’s service.
Everyone
should feel extremely proud especially our young people. Everyone looked so
smart and set a great example of Scouting. The Mayor and Lady Mayor and our
County Commissioner, Dr Derek Barnes also send their appreciation and high
regard for the parade and service and pass on their thanks for a wonderful
event.
I would also
like to congratulate those adults who received awards, Sue Ranscombe for the
Silver Acorn and for the Award for Merit, Ann Burkert, Keith Burkert, Val
Cunnington and Hazel Tyrrell, all very well deserved.
Our Movement
may have changed a lot since those early days when our Founder started it
all on Brownsea Island, but for the thousands of youngsters and adults the
adventure and fun continues.
A massive
thank you for all your efforts,
Yours in
Scouting
Mark
Strain
