St Georges Day Parade.
On the Sunday nearest to 23 April, Scouts throughout England parade through high streets and attend a special St George’s Day service.
5th Dartford Scouts were no different and this year’s parade took place on Sunday 26th April, meeting at 10:45 in Central Park, in Full Uniform.
The 5th were judged “Smartest on Parade,” which gives us the honour of parading the District Standard at all of this years events.
The service commenced at 11am and marched off at @ 11.40.
The March left the park through library gates. Turned left into Market street, followed on to Lowfield Street, at the junction, turned right into Instone Rd, at the junction turned right into Highfield Road, at the traffic lights turned right into Spital Street, at the junction went straight into High Street, followed to the end, turned right back to Market Street, and then back into the park by the Library entrance. The salute was taken on the Library steps.

Sure there was mud, rain and wet socks aplenty, but we were in excellent company and took the valuable oppertunity to revisit some of the fundamental skills of scouting, which could be often overlooked when we have so much excitement at our own facility.

Tonights session rounded off the course nicely with a full turnout. Here a couple of pictures I took during the evening, which concluded with the highest scoring card coming from Adam, having dropped only 3 points with a handsome 47/50. Well done Adam and to everyone who has taken part.
Tonight is the final module in the current NSRA YPS course. In this session we will bring together everything the scouts have learned from the last few weeks of the course and get them ready for Saturday’s scoring competition.
Many of the scouts are showing some real promise with their grouping and application of what they have learned, so Saturday could well prove to be an exciting and very competitive session.
