8th Macclesfield have signed up to join St. Georges day in Poynton on Sunday April 27th 2025.

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!

• Please drop off at Poynton High School at 14:50
  • Our start time is 15:00
  • Renew vows inside civic centre +-15:30
  • Charity Tuck shop outside civic centre
  • Collect 15:45

• No parking on school property is allowed and we ask to not park on the verges outside the school. There should be enough parking spaces around the centre and side streets, with a short walk to the start and finish destinations. Enjoy the Civic centre while we progress our last half mile!

All participants must be wearing high vis and ready to sing very loudly!
