In
'Scouting for Boys', Baden-Powell stated: "Prepared and alert a Scout follows the lead of our Patron Saint George and his spirited steed."
To Baden-Powell, St. George epitomised the qualities of selflessness and courage which he saw as being among the aims of Scouting. Thus on the Sunday near to St. George's Day, Scouts hold ceremonies when they reaffirm their Promise and acknowledge the Scout Law in a national act of dedication.
The annual district St George's Day celebration will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 8th May at Rickmansworth School - all members are expected to attend - Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers.
Please be at the school, in full smartly presented uniform, by 2-40pm for a 3-00pm start.
