St Georges Day Parade 2025
2025-04-27 13:00 - 15:30 | Elmgrove Recreation Ground
Dear Parents,
I am writing to you regarding this year’s St George’s Day event being hosted by 4th Walton
Group.
Where, When and the Event Timetable
This year’s parade and church service is taking place from Elmgrove Recreation Ground,
Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2RF to St Mary’s Church, Church Walk, Walton-on-Thames,
KT12 2QS on Sunday 27th April 2025 at 1:15pm – 3:30pm.
The Parade is to assemble on the North-East side of Elmgrove Recreation Ground by the
fence that looks onto the Elmgrove allotments at 1:15pm (please see muster location map
attached).
Please aim to arrive/ drop your children off inside the Recreation Ground between 1:00pm
and 1:15pm. Please do not attempt to drop your children off directly outside the Recreation
Ground. Parents are welcome to stay for the parade, however will not be able to enter the
Church at the end of the parade due to lack of space inside.
At the end of the service, parents should aim to safely collect their children from within the
Church grounds at approximately 3:30pm. There will be no refreshments in the Church after
the service.
Parade Route
The parade route, as indicated in the ‘Muster & Parade Route Diagram’, is to start inside
Elmgrove Recreation Ground, parade down Highfield Road to Church Walk leading into St
Mary’s Church.
The parade will be marching in the road rather than on pavements. A Temporary Road
Closure has been approved by Elmbridge Borough Council and will be monitored by
volunteer marshals. The cross sections of Highfield Road at Winchester Road and
Churchfield Road will be blocked off by traffic cones, barriers and road closed signs.
Please do not attempt to park in these roads/ move when the parade is taking place. The road
closures will re-open as the back of the parade passes through so traffic can continue. It is
expected Highfield Road will be closed for a maximum of 15-20 minutes.
Volunteer marshals
If you have volunteered to be a marshal for the parade, please arrive at Elmgrove Recreation
Ground for a full briefing from the Parade Commander Callum Stewart and lead marshal,
Adrian Davies at 1pm at the latest. If you have your own/ multiple high-vis vests/ jackets,
please also bring these.
Dress code and what to bring
All Scouts (i.e. all Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network members, Active
Support Unit Members and Warranted Leaders and Helpers) are to be smartly dressed in full
uniform. Footwear on the day should be polished black shoes. Only Scouting decorations are
to be worn in the appropriate position.
Extreme Weather Conditions Contingency Plan
The contingency plan for extreme weather conditions is: the parade will be cancelled and the
District should arrive at St James’ Church for 2:20pm.
Car Parking and Arrival
We strongly encourage the sharing of cars as parking is limited and to reduce overall traffic
congestion in the area.
There is no parking on the perimeter of Elmgrove Recreation Ground. Parents should use
public car parks around Walton.
Please note, Elmgrove Recreation Ground car park is very small and will likely be closed off
due to our temporary road closure on Highfield Road. Please familiarise yourself with
alternative car parks around Walton.
Charity and Donations
This year 4th Walton will be collecting on behalf of Mindworks (https://www.mindworkssurrey.
org). There will be a collection during the Church service, please encourage the Scouts
to have some change on the day.

Viking Family Fun Day, 115th Birthday Celebration and AGM
2023-07-07 - 2023-07-09 | Paxmead Riverside Base, TW17 9NT
Join us for our Annual Family Camp. We have tried to be more flexible this year, so you can either choose the all-in tickets, or else pick and choose various options to suit.
Friday evening is a chance to help get setup, relax with a BBQ, a few drinks and a relaxed evening around the BBQ.
If you dont fancy camping, then pop along at 8:30am on Saturday and join us for a day on the river. Saturday will take the form of a number of activities. we’ll split into groups before each session and then head off to either kayak, canoe, powerboat ride, Stand Up paddle and just chill on the lawn or watch the boats on the river. No experience is necessary, just let us know if you are not a strong swimmer.
We will have our AGM on the lawn at about midday on Saturday, so if you are coming for the day, please stay around for that.
Pickup a Hogroast ticket and join us for our 115th Birthday celebrations on Saturday evening with “Ken-aoke” and potentially a kazoo or two 🙂 The campfire us usually the place to be after this.
Sunday starts with a good breakfast, followed by a couple of smaller sessions while we start to get things ready for the Viking Horde around lunchtime. We take all our boats and paddle / row/ idle from Paxmead, through Shepperton Lock and on to our HQ where we put the boats away then do a shuttle back to Paxmead to clean up and fetch cars. many hands make light work and we aim to be finished and packed away by about 4:30pm on the Sunday
If you are staying over, you will need to have a DBS Check by the Scout Association. If you dont have one, then please let me know ASAP at giles@waltonviking.uk
