Already been posted. Where does it say (on a Scout's page) that St. George is their patron saint? It quotes Baden-Powell, but I don't see anything specific. It also says:
So, the Sunday nearest to St. George's Day has become an annual occasion for United Kingdom Scouts to hold ceremonies when they reaffirm their Promise and acknowledge the Scout Law in a national act of dedication.
Surely if he was their patron saint it would say so in this statement?
 
Like eg "He then went on: 'He is also the Patron Saint of Scouts everywhere. Therefore all Scouts should know his story. St George was typical of what a Scout should be."
 
I was a Scout for thirteen years and I've never heard of a link between St George and Scouting until now.

That's them quoting Baden-Powell, not a statement of current fact.

I wasn't in the Scouts but I knew plenty of people who were. Don't recall this ever being mentioned.

Pretty sure Wingman just made this up! :p

Surprised to see that. I was also a Scout for some time and we did this entire St Georges day thing described in the Wiki article. I thought it was well known in the Anglophone world (well, perhaps except Scotland :p)
 
Yeh, I agree the Scouts mark the day (as stated above). But is he their patron saint? That said, St. George is certainly who you associate with the Scouts; so fair enough! :p
 
We can do a quick one in between:
