The service theme was 'Hero's of our time' – Florence Nightingale, Stephen Hawking, Tim Peake and David Attenborough together with a real St George who courageously fought a real dragon.
Prue Payne, district secretary, said: “The younger Scouting members being the squirrels and beaver Scouts were enthralled seeing a real knight and dragon. The other heroes were portrayed when Florence Nightingale shone her lamp at the cub Scouts; planets circled the cathedral before the space ship piloted by Tim Peake flew over the congregation.
"Birds and animals portrayed Sir David Attenborough.
“The youngest member of the district, a six-year-old 'Squirrel Scout', had his flag blessed and then proudly carried it through the streets of Arundel together with flags from all scout units within the district."
