I’d personally like to hear from anyone who was a BP Scout at Aycliffe Village from the beginning to the present day. We have just started a new group up in the village and it would be nice to have a group of memories & anecdotes that can be shared with all of the younger kids – you know the sort of thing… camping on Roseberry Topping in the middle of a gale, long baot trips in Wales etc.
So if you read this and think “those were the days!”, then pen something and we’ll be off to a fine start.
Additionally, I know that the village had a Boy Scout troup from the thirties onwards, so if anyone has any information, please post it…
