Hide AdOn St George’s Day members of the Scout Movement worldwide remind themselves of the promise that they have made – a promise to do their best, to help others, and to follow the scout law.
With long waiting lists of young people wanting to join, the movement is always keen for more volunteer leaders to step forward.
