Luton Scouts take over St Georges Square to show 21st Century Scouting

Luton 2000 visitors (17753 bytes)15th April 2000 -- Today Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venture Scouts and their Leaders took over St George's Square and part of the Luton Arndale Centre to demonstrate Scouting to the public.  They were joined by the Bill Cockcroft, the Chief Commissioner who commented after the day that "despite the foul weather, the day showed that Scouting was alive and well in Luton and had impressed the many visitors".

Among the activities in the Square was a camp site and another highlight was an abseiling tower.  Inside the Arndale centre were static displays which showed much of Scouting's history since it started near the beginning of the last century.

The event was covered live on a dedicated web site at www.scoutsnet.co.uk with photographs, webcams and video footage being beamed live onto web from the town centre.  If you missed the event, then visit the site to get a feel of the action.

The photograph shows the Mayor of Luton and the Chief Commissioner visiting the celebrations.
