St George’s Day 2012 Celebration This Sunday

This year the District St George’s day celebration will take place on Sunday 22nd April 2012 at The Royal Masonic School for Girls, Rickmansworth.

It will be led by the young people who made up the Rickmansworth and Chorleywood Jamboree Contingent in 2011. The theme this year is based on the ‘Simply Scouting’ theme of the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden.

All uniformed members of the District are expected to attend this event as it is an important opportunity for Groups to meet as a District and renew our Promise. Section Assistants, Group Executives and parents are invited to attend and would be very welcome.

We will be using the main school hall and seating arrangements will be as in previous years. The Beavers with their leaders will sit in the front rows, with the Cub section sitting behind and then the Scouts with Explorers and Network sitting at the back.

Arrival
Please be at the school, in full smartly presented uniform, by 2.40pm for a 3.00pm start. The entrance to the school site is along the A404. Take the A404 (Chorleywood Road) towards Chorleywood. The main school gates are on the right; shortly before the first set of traffic lights. Groups will assemble by the entrance to the hall unless it is raining in which case please make your way into the School Hall.

The celebration is planned to end with the dismissal by approx 4.00pm. There will be a retiring collection for the Hertfordshire Scouts Capital Appeal taken on the way out of the hall. Please remind your young people to bring a small contribution.

Departure
Please follow the directions out of the car park, note there is no right turn onto the A404 when leaving the site.
