Scout Association launches first appeal in 10 years
Howard Lake | 13 May 2003 | News
Ten years on from the Promise Appeal, the Scout Association is launching its Windsor appeal.
The Chief Scout has instigated the Windsor Appeal to raise money for a lasting gift for St George’s Chapel Windsor. The Chapel holds a special place in Scouting history; in 2004 it will be 70 years since King George V granted King’s Scouts the honour of parading in St. George’s Chapel.
The Chief Scout George Purdy, CBE said: “Our Patron, Her Majesty the Queen has welcomed the offer of a lasting and public expression of gratitude at St George’s Chapel from Scouting to acknowledge the Movement’s special relationship with the Chapel. The money donated to the Windsor Appeal will result in something that Scouters will be proud of.”

The Scout Association is encouraging all King Scouts, Queen Scouts and Good Service Award holders, to consider making a donation to the Appeal. Each person that donates will have their name included on the Scouting Roll of Honour and will also receive a Certificate of Contribution.
