Last Sunday saw the Peterborough full scouting movement celebrate St. George's Day with a parade and service.
For the past two months Tom has been a cub and prior to that he was a Beaver. He is gradually creeping up the through the ranks of the scouting movement and he is thoroughly enjoying it. Sunday saw the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, , Explorers, Sea Cadets, Rainbows, Brownies and Girl Guides culminate in the square behind St. John's church in the city centre.
Tom was initially a bit nervous, but over came this and with the scouts of differing ages marched from the square into Peterborough Cathedral for a St. George's day service. The cathedral was packed full with 600+ scouts. Parents and friends were encouraged to join in the service but had to sit or stand to the side of the cathedral. Being proud parents, Rachel and myself followed the parade and joined the service.
The service was attended by local leading dignitaries of the scouting movement and Peterborough Mayor. The service was upbeat and finished with our national anthem, God Save The Queen. At the end of the service all of the scouts and there leaders were thanked in a speech in the grounds of the cathedral.
This type of event will stick with Tom. He is growing up quickly. Rachel and myself were very proud of Tom and also very proud to be included in such an event.
Well done Tom, keep up the good work!!!
