1st Sliema Scout Group marching in straight lines with colour party

If you were anywhere near Valletta last Sunday (6th May) then you must have noticed the Scouts & Guides of Malta (& Gozo!) in what is their largest gathering every year; the Annual Parade.

At 10AM while all the other Groups were sorting themselves out the Sliema Group could be found in a side street in Floriana feasting on pastizzi, kindly supplied by Ronnie and the Group Council. The annual pastizzi eating (competition??) has become quite a tradition!
After filling everyone's bellies we were off to the granaries to form up right behind Iklin Scout Group. The eyes right order was given on approaching the Grand Master's palace where dignatories such as Scout & Guide Commisioners and the acting President of the State were positioned to accept the salute.

" Sliema Cubs- Eyes right!!"

After the parade some of the ventures headed back t the Topaz hotel in Uniform to help out at the scrabble tournament which came to an end at 1900 that evening. The Unit will be back in uniform on the 16th of May for a procession in the Sliema area for the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
