Enfield District Scout & Guide Band
Enfield Scout District runs a traditional marching band which is open to members of the local Scout and Guide organisations.
The band was formed in 1976, and is a corps of bugles and drums. The band is a member of the Traditional Youth Marching Band Association, and competes regularly in competitions run by the Association across the UK.
Since its formation, the band has continued to lead the District as it marches through Enfield Town for the Remembrance Day and St George's Day parades which are a traditional part of the Scouting & Guiding calendar.
The band is also available to play at fetes, carnivals and other parades. In recent years the band took part in the 2002, 2007 and 2008 Lord Mayor's Shows, a Royal Visit to Enfield by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 2003.
In 2007's Centenary of Scouting, the band took part in the London New Year's Day Parade, and played at the 21st World Scout Jamboree. In November the band formed part of the Promise Centenary Scout Band at the Lord Mayor's Show, and also played at the Scouting's Live '07 show at The O2 in Greenwich, London.
