The annual 1st Newbold Verdon Scout Gala takes place in the village this year celebrating a very special 70 years of Scouting in the village. We start the film as a steam roller makes its way toward the event at the primary school before a parade lead by a marching band arrives including a very special car, a Rolls Royce which was presented at a Jamboree in 1929 to mark 21 years of Scouting to Baden Powell who was honoured with a number of gifts including a Baronetcy by King George V, BP took the title of Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell, other gifts included a set of Braces and from the 50.000 Scouts of the World attending, a very special gift of a Rolls Royce Car and a touring Caravan. We follow the band and parade through the village and arrive at the gala itself on the playing field at the primary school. The gala is officially declared open and the fun begins, first up is the there and back miniature railway before we see a chance to try out more active pursuits like rock climbing and more. There`s also plenty of more traditional gala type stalls like a jar tombola etc. Over to the arena where a tug of war with a twist is taking place, humans Vs a mini road roller who will win ? watch to find out.
We end with a walk around the busy event with lots going on and a fun time being had by all attending.The annual 1st Newbold Verdon Scout Gala takes place in the village this year celebrating a very special 70 years of Scouting in the village.
