Description

Merseyside Scouts is open to all young people and adults regardless of their sexuality or gender identity. We have a clear Equal Oppurtunities Policy and attend Pride events to demonstrate our commitment to equality.

Attending Pride events is a way of demonstrating our commitment to equality and building a more inclusive society, and showing that we openly welcome LGBT members. In Liverpool, Merseyside Scouts has an active presence within pride, showing that we are an inclusive county and that we strive to provide Scouting4All.

We will be taking part in the Pride march and supporting the Community Zone.

The March musters from 10.30am outside St Georges Hall and sets off at 12noon. There will be some general entertainment on the steps of St Georges Hall, a choir, some dancers etc and some speeches before we set off.
