St George's Day ParadeMore than 1,300 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and network leaders from 22 Preston troops took part in a St George's Day parade.
Scout founder Lord Baden-Powell chose St George to be the patron saint of The Scout Association as he felt his legend set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance.
David Griggs, assistant district leader for Scouts, said: "We ended up in the Guild Hall for a service of thanksgiving.
"There were also two bands – the Preston Pipe and Drum Band and the Preston District Scout Band."
And pupils at Holme Slack School, Manor House Lane, also got into the spirit of the patron saint's day with traditional morris dancers from Leyland and fancy dress.

Headlines Training College
A group of students from the Preston area have achieved their apprenticeship in hairdressing.
The girls, aged from 16 to 18, studied at Headlines Training College on an 18-month course with paid work at hair salons in and around Preston and at least one day's study at Headlines City and Guilds College.
A special mention goes to Nicola Howard from Preston who received the gold award.
A few of the trainees have now decided to pursue an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship to become a senior stylist.
The college's Helen Gordon said: "The girls worked really hard and I believe they've chosen a happy career."
