WOW, what an experience.

I have just spent the evening at Joseph Rowntree Theatre immersing myself at one of the best shows I have seen in a long time, the York Scout & Guide Gang Show.

There were probably over 60 people on stage of all ages providing a variety show of the highest order. Amazing, well done.

Following the report I read from the University of Edinburgh outlining that Scouting and Girlguiding supports the development of positive mental health in later years, the show is clearly creating a positive future for our city.

The cast clearly demonstrated all the skill and enthusiasm handed down from over 80 years of gang shows.

The show is a credit to what must be hours of rehearsals and the time and dedication of their leaders.

If you want to see what the youth of York can achieve, I would highly recommend it.

I will be certainly going back again in future years. Very inspiring.
