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.
