Hide AdPhilip Mather, promotion and publicity manager for Blackpool District Scout Council, said: “Some brilliant fun, and adventure was had by everyone, with activities taking place all over the park.
“As part of our promise to help other people, every member of the district attending was invited to bring a piece of clothing to make up a St George’s Day Flag, as part of a big art project on the day.
“The afternoon of celebration concluded with a march from the Italian Gardens to the bandstand, where a short reflection took place about the day.”
Activities at the park included using bucket stilts, drumming at the bandstand, dodgeball, Jenga and a sack race, he said.
