Annual Scouts and Guides Rally 2017
Hundreds of Scouts and Guides will be marching through the streets of Valletta this morning. This year, the thanksgiving mass before the rally will be held at the Catholic Institute in Floriana. The Central District Scouts and Girl Guides will be leading the march-past.
As in previous years, the groups will march down Republic Street and pass the palace through St George’s Square. However, this year, the rally will not turn towards Archbishop Street due to another event on Merchants Street. It will keep going straight towards the lower part of Republic Street. Dispersal of groups managed by volunteers will take place at St Elmo.
As patron of both national associations, Her Excellency, President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca will be taking the salute of passing groups in front of the Presidential Palace in St George’s Square. All groups will be marching in full uniform behind the colours of the Maltese, Scouting and Guiding flags.
The Scout and Guide associations would like to take the opportunity to thank all stakeholders involved in assisting in the organisation of this annual event. A special word of thanks goes to the Malta Police Force, whose officers go beyond the call of duty to the associations’ needs and provide logistical support free of charge, the St John Ambulance brigade for standby first aid assistance, the Floriana and Valletta local councils for the relevant permits and Transport Malta for rerouting of vehicular traffic.
