Group History

1st RICKMANSWORTH
(3rd SW Herts - Lady Ebury's Own)
SCOUT GROUP
(Founded March 15th 1909)

No, you did not read that wrong, March 15th 1909. Unfortunately, the Group suffered a fire during its history, and many historic documents and photographs were lost - a great shame. Nevertheless, due to the devotion and care of many of our senior group members, a few still remain.

We will present them here, for you to enjoy. Where caption or other anecdotal information is available we have included it. Of course, if we have made some errors, or you have additional information to share - please get in contact with us. We would be happy to hear from you.
