Scouts and Coronation weekend

It's Wednesday so I thought we'd look at Scouting across the Coronation Weekend.

Scouts aged between 18 and 25 were involved in the coronation as stewards, helping at various points along the route and where areas with big screens had been set up, providing first aid and so on, stepping up to the responsibilities.

They performed their duties well and no doubt have every reason to feel proud of what they had done on this most special day.

Scouts too were in attendence at the service selected for their own contributions among the many guests at the service, a huge honour.

Scouts were at and in some instances involved in the many street parties held, mainly on Sunday across the country an example being that of the one held by our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak outside No 10, Downing Street.

Monday was the Big Help Out which many scout groups were involved in doing things in the community and raising awareness of what voluntary organizations do and what you can get from being a volunteer.

Pictured here Thier Royal Highness's The Prince and Princess of Wales with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis helped at 3rd Upton for The Big Help Out helping with repairs to a building used by Scouts and other community groups.

It wouldn't be Scouts without a camp fire and toasted marsh mallows and here they are being prepared, everybody waiting in turn.

The theme of the Coronation was service and across the weekend we saw Scouts offering just that and what we get from being of use to people.
