Every year, the college of the mayor and aldermen of the city of Luxembourg invites local associations to participate in the torchlight procession (“Fakelzuch”) on Sunday, June 22, on the eve of the National Holiday, to celebrate the Grand Duke’s birthday.
Our group participates as well. Register your child/ren at the end of this page.
Paper lantern & torches
It has been decided that our Biber will get a paper lantern and our Wëllefcher, Avex and CaraPio a torch. Please tell your kids in advance.
The scout uniform
As this is an official event, we will wear the full scout uniform (green scout shirt, scout scarf and blue jeans). This is mandatory for Wëllefcher, Avex and CaraPio.
However, our Biber (6-7 years) do not need to buy a uniform as they grow out rather quickly. Some of them got a green t-shirt from us the last years with our branding. If not, a simple dark green t-shirt will be ok as well.
The scout shop is operated by Maison Lessure (https://www.lessure.lu)
There are two addresses. Please check their website for the opening hours and exact address.
