Scouts parade in honour of St George

Posted by Charlene Mitchell on Apr 27, 09 10:20 AM in

CROWDS turned out in force yesterday (Sun) to cheer on the scouts, cubs and beavers taking part in the St George's Day parade in Ruislip.

The Ruislip Eastcote Northwood District Scouts marched from Ruislip Manor to Ruislip as part of probably the largest contingent of scouts of all ages in honour of St George, the Patron Saint of Scouts.

The march started in Linden Avenue and was led by the award winning band of the 114 (Ruislip and Northwood) Squadron Air Training Corps to Churchfield Gardens, in Eastcote Road.

David Horchover, the honorary publicity executive for the scout district, said: "The day was perfect for this annual event when all members of the movement renew their scouting promises, and it was estimated that close to 500 people took part in the march,with many more in attendance."
