It was a lovely day in Romsey today for St Georges Day parade, the sun was shining and it was really warm as we gathered for the parade to start in Latimore Street car park. We set off from the car park slightly later than planned. There was lots of people in Romsey watching the parade go by as we headed towards the Abbey.

The service had a mixture of hymns, readings and prayers, plus a fantastic speech from an explorer about Georges trust which is a local trust helping local community organisations and groups helping young people. The service ended with the national anthem before the Abbey emptied onto the lawn beside ready to parade back past the gathered VIPs

Thank you to all the Scouts for attending today and looking really smart. Everyone that came will get points towards the points competition.

Do not forget the canoeing on 9th May and also Badgesplash which is on the 7th May. Hope everyone has a fantastic Easter break and see you all next term.

Active Kids 2011 has started again at Sainburys, so when you are shopping please remember to pick-up your vouchers and bring them along to the next Scout meeting.

Give the vouchers to the leader or place them into the box in the main hall.  With all the vouchers collected it will enable us to get some great new equipment.

Last year we got a indoor curling set (including target, poles and indoor stones), storage boxes and some other minor things.

If you are interested in caving have a look at the Hampshire Scout Caving Newsletter.

Don’t forget Scouts tomorrow night at 7pm at the Scout Hut.  Its going to be an indoor evening so nothing special is needed.

See you then
