A Watford Scout said she was “lucky” to support the public at King Charles III’s coronation.
Emily Wright, 17, was one of 50 Scouts who were selected to attend the coronation event at St Margaret’s Westminster Abbey.
The Scouts played a key role in supporting the coronation by assisting with several events including - helping with crowd stewarding, supporting the public who were there to celebrate with the King, route lining and providing first aid services.
Emily said: “I was able to be a part of history. I feel incredibly lucky to be one of the few people who attended the private screening of the coronation service. This would not have been possible without Scouts.

“As well as coming together to celebrate this momentous occasion, it was so great that we were able to support various activities and general management throughout the event!’’
On Saturday, May 6, The Scouts were also responsible for managing the huge crowds at locations such as the big screen in St James Park, Hyde Park, Green Park, and the Admiralty Arch.
Taking part in these events is a massive responsibility but The Scouts say, “their duty to the nation will always be a priority, no matter the scale”.
