Three Cheers for 70 Glorious Years!

This week the HQ was the scene of several celebrations to mark the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
Both the Beavers & Yellow Pack Cubs held street parties with food galore, bunting making, pin the crown on the Queen and a Jubilee Hat Competition!

As Scouts, the Jubilee is an extra special occasion. The Monarch’s been our Patron since 1910, which means HM The Queen has been our Patron ever since she acceded to the throne in 1952.

This means we’re also celebrating her 70-year-long dedication to our movement – an outstanding legacy of encouragement, kindness and service.

“Scouting is a global force for good. In this Country and around the World, Scouts are helping others and making the most of their lives” – HM The Queen

It’s not just HM The Queen we’re celebrating, either. On Sunday 5 June, it’s National Thank You Day too. Thank You Day is all about saying a huge thank you to all those who make our communities better places to live.

At 2nd Whitton, we’ll be saying an extra special thank you to all our volunteers, whose hard work and dedication helps us give our young people skills for life (and memories they’ll remember forever).
