What a wonderful sight it was to see so many of Brighton and Hove's young people, from the six-year-old Rainbows and Beavers to the 14-year-old and upwards Explorer Scouts and Rangers, on the St George's Day parade on Sunday.

What a credit they are to our society.

All the Scouting groups are attended by thousands of young people and run by hundreds of voluntary leaders.

My twin boys have gone through Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and are now in Explorer Scouts.

The parade was a great success, bringing together so many people and resulting in a renewal of vows in the Dome with a wonderful service and music.

Congratulations to everyone who organised the event.

Well done, young people, for showing the city how much you care about the Scouting organisation - keep up the good work.
