Southport St Georges Parade 2007

THIS year's annual Southport and district Scouts, Beavers and Cubs, St Georges Parade took place on Sunday 22 April 2007 in Southport as normal. This time though the parade ended at Ocean Plaza instead of Victoria Park.

As it snacked passed the Monument onto Nevill Street the rain was threatening to put a dampener on the proceedings. Thankfully for all the young kids who took park, the rain held off. Well done to all who took part as it was a good advert for the Scouting movement.
