History
of Camps
|
 Since
the Unit was formed in 1963 there have only been a few occasions
when the scout troop(s) did not hold an annual camp and this has
generally been caused by the lack of leader availability.
Additional camping weekends were usually held instead. The list of
camps held in included here but the process of finding photographs
of all those events is still ongoing and not yet available in some
cases. If you are a former member of our unit and went on
camp, why not check and see if your picture is here ?  |

of units amalgamating or having common sections such as Beavers or
Venturers. The original neckerchief colour has been used in
these instances. |
