2010-12-04 – Happy 94th Birthday 5th Dartford

Today the 5th Dartford Scout group is 94 years old and we’ve come such a long way since Skipper Leigh started up our our History when he formed our scout group for boys aged between 11 and 16 and the single weekly meetings, held in a classroom in the Congregational Church Hall just down the hill from our current site. 

This year has seen unpresidented interest in membership from all ares of our community, so much so that we’ve opened two new mixed gender sections to cater for it.  WOW! How our Our Structure, membership and leadership numbers have grown and evolved so much since those early days.

Another year older – Another year of fantastic scouting memories. 

Happy Birthday 5th – Hope to see you all on parade tomorrow morning ;O)
