The Interregional Children and Youth Honor Guard Contest

The Honored Guard is a perfect example of endurance and self-possession while the guard mounting ceremony is always a show to witness. But watching it being performed by young boys and girls arouses a swirl of emotions featuring pride, admiration and respect.

First held in 2015, the Interregional Children and Youth Honor Guard Contest continuously augments its popularity. A competent jury featuring officers of the Presidential Regiment, representatives of the honor guard units, participants of the Festival, and members of the military patriotic organizations, evaluate the contestants’ skills in arms drills, guard change and wreath laying ritual.
