Nighthawk_1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My dad was a Scouter with the 11th Pitsmoor in the 1940s. I was only 6 or 7 at the time but he used to take me with him when they were organising things. His name was Cyril Grant. My mother and I went on one of the camps to Hornsea but I think it would be later than Gerry's photo. I recognise some of the Scouters on the photo as my dad would take me if we were visiting them and I can remember a couple of names. Mr. Marshall is centre, the name Outwin comes to mind, possibly on Mr. Marshall's left (the bald guy) and I'm sure that my dad is the second one on Mr. Marshall's right. Somewhere I have a similar photo and will post it when I find it. Other things which come to mind are a house up a drive opposite the bottom of Minna Road and storing jam jars there which had been collected. Also going to a room in an old building where Ivy Lodge now stands, I think it was called Ivy Lodge even back then, and it had a counter at one end for making tea and refreshments. Was this a hall belonging to the church? Must go and search for the camp photo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk_1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Dennis, looking back at your post I see that you mention camping at Baslow. Now I think about it I can remember the 11th. camping at Baslow. It was on part of the Chatsworth Estate hillside and called Heathey Lea. I think we just visited for the day, probably went on the bus because we did not have a car. My Grandad went with us and when he took me for a walk up to the rocks we saw a weasel catch a rabbit. This would be prior to 1950 because my dad died in early 1950. In the 1960s I was a scouter with the 283rd. and we had several camps at Heathey Lea. Robert.
