More than 1,000 Scouts, Cubs and Beavers paraded through the streets of St Albans as part of their annual celebration of the youth movement.

The St George's Day parade, which has not taken place for two years due to the pandemic, was attended by the Deputy Mayor Cllr Helen Campbell and Daisy Cooper MP.

New to the parade this year were the recently launched Squirrel Scouts in their red uniforms, the brand new section for four to five year olds.

The groups paraded through the city centre to Verulamium Park, where they celebrated Scouting at a ceremony led by 16 young people who will represent St Albans at the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea in August 2023.

St Albans Scouts District Commissioner Annette Payne said: "This annual parade and celebration of Scouting gives us a chance to publicly thank everyone who helps to make scouting possible, as well as celebrating the achievements of our volunteers and young members."
