History of Gang Shows in the UK and abroad
Gang Shows began in London in 1932, when Scout and theatre producer Ralph Reader created the first show, bringing together Scouts through songs, comedy, dance and performance.
The idea quickly spread across the UK and then around the world, with Gang Shows becoming a much-loved Scouting tradition in countries including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa.
Nearly 100 years later, Gang Shows continue to give Scouts and volunteers the chance to perform, create and work behind the scenes — keeping the spirit of the original Gang alive.
