Editing Formby (section)

==Scouting==
Formby has a long tradition of scouting dating back to 1909, just over a year after [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden Powell]]'s legendary experimental camp on [[Brownsea Island]] in [[Dorset]] in 1907. The first Scout group in the town, named the 1st Formby, was set up at Holy Trinity Church Hall by Mr Murray Spense. There are currently a handful of active groups out of the nine that were initially set up over the last century, especially since the 1960s housing estates expanded the town.

Scouts can be seen marching through the village every year on [[St George's Day]].
