BODIAM SCOUTS & CUBS
If I remember correctly, this photo was taken at Burwash Weald at a District day camp. I can remember that there were a lot of other cub packs there. We each our own area in the field where we pitched a base tent. We had a camp fire on which we attempted to cook sausages and beans. There were various competitions on which we were marked and it finished with tracking through the woods. I don't think we won anything but I stand to be corrected.

He gives the following commentary "The second photo shows the transport we used (for
scouts and tents etc.) for a scout camp in the Summer of 1962 (I think) on a
farm at Pett. We had a different Scout Master (a Scot who insisted on lots of
salt in the porridge) and Mervyn Pelling the Troop Leader at the time, took a
shot gun with him to shoot rabbits for the pot."
