Some 4,500 scouts and guides held their annual parade in Valletta this morning marching behind the colours of their respective groups.

The parade, down Republic Street and up Merchants Street, included the participation of many elderly, adults and children, showing the movement’s broad and ongoing appeal.

Several bands participated as hundreds of people, including many parents, proudly watched.

President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca took the salute in Palace Square.
