The event is held on the Sunday closest to St George’s Day, which is today.
During their grand parade in Doncaster, youngsters marched to Doncaster Minster - also known as St George’s Church and passed the Mansion House, where civic mayor for Doncaster Coun George Derx and elected mayor Ros Jones, joined scout leaders for a salute.
The day also saw awards handed out to some of the organisation’s adult volunteers, including the Award of Merit.
