Happy St George’s Day from Lincolnshire Scouts 🏴
Why do we celebrate St George’s Day?
St George is not only the patron saint of England, but also the patron saint of Scouts around the world. Chosen by Robert Baden-Powell as a role model for Scouting, St George represents the qualities every Scout strives for, courage, determination, and helping others.
His story reminds us to face challenges with confidence and to do our best, even when things seem difficult. Each year on St George’s Day, Scouts come together to reflect on their Promise and Scout Law, and to celebrate the values that unite our movement.
Celebrations across Lincolnshire
Last weekend, Lincoln Scouts proudly kicked things off with a fantastic parade, bringing young people, volunteers, and the community together to mark the occasion.
Across the district, more events and parades will be taking place this weekend, giving even more Scouts the opportunity to come together, celebrate, and show their Scout spirit.
We would love to see how you are celebrating. Please tag us and share your photos and posts so we can showcase the amazing activities happening across Lincolnshire.
Happy St George’s Day to all our members and supporters.
