Sunday 27 April, 2025
On Sunday 27 April, Rangers, Girl Guides, Brownies, Explorers, Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Squirrels and their volunteer leaders congregated at Grantham Bus Station ready for the annual Grantham District St. George’s Day Parade.
One Young Leader, nine Scouts, seven Cubs, six Beavers and eight volunteer leaders from our Group attended the parade, led by the marching band through the streets of Grantham to St Wulfram’s Church. During the service, led by Fr. Stuart Cradduck, we learned that St. George’s Day actually fell on Monday 28th April this year, rather than 23 April, as the Church of England has changed the date because no Saint's Day can take place in the week before or after Easter.
All uniformed members renewed their Scouting or Guiding Promises during the service which culminated in a rousing rendition of The National Anthem before congregating outside St. Wulfram’s and parading back to Grantham Bus Station.
