Newport
Scouts see all the Queens Horses and all the Queens men.
Its
06.00hrs and we are on Newport railway station so we must be on our way
to see the queen during her birthdays trooping colour celebrations. On
the train and a chance to breakfast before we arrive some 90 minutes
later! London.
Now
the fun starts we must get to the Duke of York�s steps by 09.00hrs to
ensure we meet all, the security test? This also the time to find a
toilet and meet some of the other Scouts! Most were from the London
area. But it was quicker to travel from Wales then the 26 miles across
London which over an hour for some the Scouts.
Inside
our viewing area and a time for Polly to tell the lads what was about to
happen [GREAT]? What a parade, all in step and the bands may our local
scouts might learn something from the guards? Music and marching never!
[Sorry lads Polly�s joke]?
After
the parade came the fright to get on the underground and to find BP
house for lunch. Lunch well not to everyone choice but Nigel seem to
have a full plate? Suitable refuelled its time to visit the science
museum. What a great place so much to see and play with.
But its time to get across London back to station to catch our return train home. 19.30hrs back safe if a little tried after a very long day.
Great
day out thanks Nigel, for all your hard work in making it a magic days
Scouting! [Lynn don�t forget GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE TABLE]!
