  • This Is the Introduction to the Ist S.W.C. Story
    THIS IS THE INTRODUCTION TO THE IST S.W.C. STORY The history of the International and National Scout Movement is well documented by professional bodies but the development of Scouting at local level is often neglected and rarely gets into print. The Andrews at Crewe is we believe a very special Group and its main landmarks provide an interesting story which hope fully when read will encourage future generations of members to move forward with a sense of pride and a desire to uphold some well tried and tested traditions. Before launching into this chronological catalogue of landmarks it is worth mentioning how it has been compiled: In 1970 it was decided to try and gather together all available photographs, logs and record books which were scattered ( some in our Headquarters , many at the homes of individuals) and to display them in the form of an Exhibition which would be open to the local community . It was hoped that this would not only attract past members but also raise the profile of the Group and encourage more families to get involved in local Scouting, The event was a great success and many who attended recounted their own memories of times spent in the local Scout organisation As a result even more records and photographs were acquired together with souvenirs and memorabilia . It is this information which provides the basis of this document at least up until 1970 From 1970 onwards an attempt has been made to keep the records in a manageable state but the increased availability of cameras and other recording devices has resulted in an over supply of data and consequently there has had to be a thinning out process and the creation of separate files covering camps ,expeditions and other competitive events.

  • History-Of-Scouting-In-West-Yorkshire
    A warm welcome to our history of Scouting In West Yorkshire Booklet. This publication is an opportunity to reflect on the events and individuals who have contributed so much to Scout- ing in our County across the years. Hopefully, this booklet has captured some of the essence of Scouting here in West Yorkshire and will be an aide-memoire to some of the wonderful times we have shared over the years. Over the years, Scouting here in West Yorkshire has been strong and vibrant, providing opportunity for the young people in the inner city and rural areas of Huddersfield, Halifax and Bradford. It is our talented and committed volunteers coupled with the events over the years, that have created the rich tapestry that we all now know as West Yorkshire County Scouts. Without those volunteers, Scouting could not be what it is today here in West Yorkshire. This is very much an opportunity to remember them collectively and in our own personal way. I know we are all incredibly proud of our heritage, our achievements, our volunteers and most importantly our young people, who are the future of Scouting here in West Yorkshire. In particular, I would like to say a BIG thank you to the County Archives Team; as custodians of our heritage, for their contribution in assembling this abridged history of our County. I hope you enjoy the publication and I wish you all continued success in your Scouting here in West Yorkshire. County Commissioner, West Yorkshire County Scout Council. In 1907 Robert Baden-Powell runs an experimental camp on Brownsea Island, Poole and the Scout Association is born.
