Scout Parade

Today, Henry took part in the traditional spring Scout Parade. The event was more important than usual, since this year the Finnish Scout Movement is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

It was a bright, chilly day, so the scouts and guides had to wear warm clothes under their uniforms. Particularly since there was quite a bit of hanging around waiting for things to get underway.

The Finnish uniform is blue, although some troops use brown, as can be seen on the photo. The individual troops are identified by the symbol on their neckerchiefs. The neckerchief is worn at all scout events but the uniform itself is reserved for more formal occasions.

Naturally, each troop has its own standard; in Henry's case, it is blue.

Thomas was also present to watch and he took the video below of the troop saluting the stand. Can you spot Henry?
