Video: Hundreds of scouts and guides parade through York
About two thousand scouts, guides, cubs and brownies took part in the York St George’s Day Parade.
That makes it one of the biggest of its kind, and significantly larger than the National Scout Parade held each year in Windsor Castle.
Including a number of marching bands, the parade followed a service at York Minster.
Yes I agree they should be applauded for all the time and effort they put into their communities.
Fantastic coverage of a good day.
Such a shame that York can’t take those few minutes to stand still and really appreciate and applaud the parade, instead of dashing in and out between them.
This happens once a year and is a moment for York to be proud of their young people, their commitment to the Scout and Guide Movement and the badges and awards that they have achieved. Not forgetting the thanks we should give to the leaders who are unpaid volunteers giving hours of their time to provide fun, adventure and life skills to these young people.
