Sunday 21 April, 2024
On Sunday 21 April, Girl Guides, Brownies, Explorers, Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Squirrels and their volunteer leaders congregated at Grantham College ready for the annual Grantham District St. George’s Day Parade.
Two Young Leaders, twelve Scouts, eight Cubs and three Beavers from our Group attended the parade, where we were 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 about St. George and the dragon, and audience participation was encouraged to see who was stronger; the district Dignitaries and Explorers, or a number of Squirrels and Beavers, in a game of tug o’ war. The result was surprising! The collection during the service was for the Newark Child Bereavement Centre for the Guides and Young Minds for the Scouts.
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 College.
