🍁 March of the Maple: Scout Parade in Evercotage
On March 16, 2025, the golden boulevards of Evercotage—capital of Stelpadland—trembled with footsteps and songs of legacy as thousands of scouts marched in perfect unison beneath the amber skies.
From distant mountain villages to urban forest quarters, young leaders and their mentors gathered for the annual Grand Scout Parade, one of the most anticipated events in Asthortera's cultural calendar.
