Wonderful Years
- A
short history of 2nd Hucknall.
-
-
- In
the year of 2005 2nd Hucknall (Parish Church) Scout
Group
- Celebrated
it's 60th Anniversary.
-
- The
group was founded in 1945 by Kenneth Read, the headmaster of
the National School. The group was registered at the Imperial
Headquarters
- in June of that year and had a Scout Troop &
Wolf Cub Pack. Originally the group met at the National School,
later moving to the church hall
- on Ogle Street. In the 1970's
the group then moved into it's present headquarters behind St
Mary Magdalene Church,
- (burial place of Lord Byron).
-
- A
former Scoutmaster stated that in the late 1940's & early
1950's the troop averaged forty members. When the troop went
camping, they also took non-scout/guide boys & girls from
the National School. Since
- then the numbers in the group
have varied over the years. As to
- the present day, our numbers
are on an increase.
-
- The
group currently has a Large Beaver Scout Colony, a healthy
- Cub
Pack and an ever increasing Scout Troop. We no longer have an
Explorer Unit as we have join forces with the Merlin Explorer
Unit
- based at 3rd Hucknall Scout Group. In November 2005 the
Scout Group became Co-ed and began welcoming girls
into our Group.
