Quay Street, Castle Street, St Ethelbert Street, St Owen Street between Cantilupe Road and St Peters Square, Union Street between Gaol Street and St Owen Street, St Peters Street and Broad Street are all on the parade route and will be closed to traffic for the event.
In previous years, hundreds of people have been involved in the popular parade that involves members of the scouting movement from Hereford and surrounding areas.
Lord Baden Powell, founder of the scouts, chose St George as the patron saint of the scouts due to his courage in the face of adversity.
