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 Thursday, June 22, on the eve of the National Holiday, to celebrate the Grand Duke’s birthday.
Out 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 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 and Avex.
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 last year with our branding. We will investigate if we can do something similar this year. If not a dark green t-shirt will be ok as well.
