Roy Cadoux represented the Fellowship at the Westminster Abbey for the National Scout Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving on 23rd February.  He writes:

It was my first visit to Central London since we moved to Torquay nearly five years ago!  I guess I was invited because I was awarded the Silver Acorn two years ago.  We had some good hymn singing accompanied by the powerful organ – including Ralph Reader’s The Scout Hymn which I’ve not sung for many years – and a couple of inspirational short talks from younger members of the movement.  The sound of the Abbey bells ringing as we left was amazing!
