A DAY OF CELEBRATION AND ACHIEVEMENT – NATIONAL SCOUT SERVICE AND PARADE OF QUEEN’S SCOUTS, WINDSOR CASTLE

Each year, HM The King allows The Scout Association to hold an event within Windsor Castle which gives the opportunity to recognise the achievement and contribution of many of our members.

The date of the parade is always close to that of St George’s Day (23 April). The Scout Association announce it here.  Those who complete the King’s or Queen’s Scout Award are eligible to attend this event and can request an invitation on the Log Book and Completion form. Members will be invited to the next available event and for up to four years from completion. Members can only attend this celebration once, unless attending for a different award.
