Were you a Scout in the 1980s ?

Ha! I thought this was going to be a class-action thread.

Leah, I knew you would turn up trumps!  (Fab DofE award photo of those Rangers outside the Museum by the way). Strangely, my contact didn't mention food poisoning! I don't suppose you have any more details or photos of the Broughton camp?

My three children all took part, Ruth camped with the Rangers and Venture Scouts,  Stephen with the Scouts (he got food poisoning) and David went for the day with the cubs.

I have been contacted by a Scout Leader in Scotland, who was a Scout in the 1980s in Charlbury - he remembers a camp he went to in the 80s called Mafeking. It was near Broughton Castle and was a huge camp (from memory)

If you have any records or photos from this camp which you would be happy to share, please message me.

Thanks in advance!
