This year’s event also welcomed around 300 members from the Baden Powell Scouts Malta, who joined in marking the feast of St George, the patron saint of Scouts across the world.

Upon reaching St George’s Square in front of the Grandmaster’s Palace, H.E. Anġlu Farrugia honoured all Scout and Guide groups by taking the official salute.

The annual parade, a longstanding and prestigious tradition, highlighted the values of commitment, discipline, and service to the community that both Scouting and Guiding aim to instil in young people.

With now iconic songs like ‘Ersaq fil-Qrib’, ‘Ħdejja’, ‘Ħafi Paċi Kuluri’ and ‘L-Imħabba Kelma Kbira Wisq’, The Travellers sedimented their place in the local scene with release after release.

So it would be a massive surprise – and loss – to see them exit the scene! What do they mean exactly with ‘a closed chapter?’

Guess we’ll have to wait and see!
