Horse Guards Parade is the ceremonial parade ground in St James's Park and is the scene of Trooping the Colour on the Queen's official birthday in June. Horse Guards is the building with a clock tower over an archway, and remains the official entrance to St James's and Buckingham Palace.
Horseguards wasn't somewhere I visited around that age but we did go to the Police Horse section in Liverpool, North-western England where you saw the stables, met the risers and stable staff which was very interesting so I can imagine how these scouts feel.
Apart from seeing the horses they'll learn about his history of horses in the ceremonial and military roles.
Needless to say they look really smart in their uniform.
