Earlier today we welcomed Scouts from across the country to the Abbey for a service of celebration and thanksgiving, and honoured long-serving volunteer leaders for their dedication to the Scout Movement.

The year a tube train got stuck in the Lord Mayor's Show

Every November, the streets of the City of London are filled with a huge parade marching for the Lord Mayor -- and 50 years ago, they were joined by a tube train.
Chief Scout, @DwayneFields visits the Scout meeting place where it all started. He shares his love for the outdoors, his introduction to Scouts as a young person and the impact it's had on his life.
Wishing you all a FABULOUS @PrideInLondon 🌈
Today @scouts are taking part in the parade AND running amazing activities at the Pride Family Area at Victoria Embankment Gardens
Come and say hi, we're open from 12:00 - 18:00 🌈🌈🌈
