1st Pontygwaith Scout Group

This year for the first time the District will be holding a fun day prior to the service where all members of the movement will come together for the renewing their promises. This event is being held at the Rhondda Sports Centre in Ystrad and we would like every member of the Group to attend. Further details of the time will be provided nearer the time.

Lord Baden-Powell choose Saint George to be The Patron Saint of The Scout Association. He felt that the Saint George of legend set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance. St George’s day is kept on the 23rd April and our Districts will be holding our service on the 26^th April.

Traditionally this has consisted of a parade followed by a service in a local church but this year we are holding the event in Ystrad Sports. The service will be a celebration of St George and family members are encouraged to attend the service.

For further details please feel free to contact one of the Leaders.
