Scouts' Day

[3] Individual associations also celebrate their own founding on other dates, although these are generally restricted to "major" anniversaries, such as a decennial.

Girl Scouts of the USA celebrate Founders Day on 31 October, the birthday of Juliette Gordon Low.

The nearest Sunday to 23 April is observed as a celebration in some countries, for example, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Brazil and Spain.

However, it is becoming more difficult to encourage participation by the youth membership, so many Districts forego the parade and church service in place of a more family oriented day.

Windsor and Queen Scouts Each St. George's Day is also marked by a service in St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, which is open to all recipients of the Queen's Scout Award in the previous year.

In the United States, Scouting has been used by churches, temples, synagogues, and many other religious organizations as part of their youth ministries.

The event began with the participation of Scouts from all 37 districts simultaneously numbering approximately 40,000 between the ages of 7 and 18.

The association requests the public to contribute to them generously as this is the main fund raising project for them.
