16th
Morecambe & Heysham ScoutsThe Early Days
Found
recently, stored away - This page in an "Exercise Book - Supplied for use
in naval & military schools" lists the 16th's Troop members in 1958.
Recognise anyone you know?
Sadly, a number are no longer with us.
This
page from the same book lists Scouts who were paying in camp monies -
for the Whit Camp 1958, I think, at Witherslack.
Finally, in another similar exercise book there are progress records from 1957. This illustrative one's for Terry Derham, see photo below. I think the writing will be that of Ronald Preston the then Scout master.
