St George’s Day holds a unique place in our hearts as Scouts. Baden-Powell, our founder, chose St George to be our patron saint, recognizing him as a symbol of courage, selflessness, and duty—values that align with the core of Scouting.
8th Macclesfield have been invited to join St. George’s Day in Poynton on Sunday April 27th 2025 where everyone will be renewing their vows in the king’s name.
We are asking all members from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to join the fun as we walk through Poynton Town Centre to the Civic Centre, carrying model camp-fires they have made, and singing our favourite campfire songs. It’s going to be loud, proud and will put Scouting front and centre in our community!

- Everyone will will start at 14:00
- Renew vows inside civic centre +-14:30
