St. Georges Day - Information

imageBelow is the information for the forthcoming 2011 St. George’s Day Parade, to be held in Laxey on Saturday 23. April, 2011.

St. George’s Day is the only occasion when members from all sections: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network meet together to reaffirm their promise. This is made by everyone in the Scout Movement, both current and previous (once a Scout, always a Scout). All members should be smartly dressed in full uniform with the Neckers neatly pressed and remember to bring money for the collection.

All Scouts will assemble near Laxey Fire Station, parade along Mines Road, cross the busy road with the assistance of the Police, down Captain’s Hill and through the footpaths onto Laxey Washing Floor, where the service will take place. Parents should not take part in the parade, but are welcome to view the parade along the route and from the many observation areas above the Laxey Washing Floor.

Please do not park anywhere near Laxey Fire Station or along Mines Road since this will not only cause problems in the event of an emergency, but also parked cars will spoil the parade. There are lots of car parks available around Laxey.

There are public toilets available near to the fire station assembly point and at the MER station after the event.

  • 2.00 pm Parents to drop off children along Mines Road, where they will be directed by Parent Marshals in high viz jackets and members will be directed to the assembly area behind the fire station.
  • 2.30 pm Parade commences.
  • 2.45 pm Parade assembles on the Washing Floor
  • 3.00 pm Service starts
  • 3.30 pm Parade dismissed by Island Commissioner and parent pick-up

If you have any queries, please contact your Section Leader.
