The older members of the group spent several hours, before the parade, out and about helping the community. They painted, cleaned and litter picked at the Priory, playground and skate park. They helped dredge the waterway and make Ware a cleaner and smarter place.
The Cubs participated in a service at Christ Church, Church, whilst the Beavers were involved in their own event at Christ Church School. Both then joined with the Scouts and the rest of the District to parade down the high street and onto the Priory.
Here we renewed out promises and the results of the Peter Geer trophy were announced. This year we came 4th. This award is given for the percentage of young people attending District events. Peter Geer, an ex-3rd Ware Leader strongly believed, that all young people, not just a select few, should have the opportunity to join in and try out activities, a philosophy still held dear to 3rd Ware. Participation is key, winning is great and always welcome, but joining in is what matters!
The afternoon ended with our annual whole group photo in front of the Priory.
