Calling all ex-Linton Scouts - can you help us?




We are looking for information about the Linton Scouting Group. We know that the group has been in existence for several years, either as a Linton group or twinned with our neighbouring village Abington; we have our own records dating back to 1934.

We are looking for old photographs of the group and for you to tell us about your memories of its past, any information you can give us will help us to build up a better picture of our past, we look forward to hearing from you, thank you very much for your help.

We are planning on Celebrating our Anniversary towards the end of November, and would love you to join us, watch this space for further news!

Please contact Barry Holman by sending him an email, click on the white envelope on the right hand side of this page (contact@lintonscouts.co.uk). You can also contact him on 01223 891961.

Camping 2009

The Scouts camped at Skreens Park Camp and Activity Centre, Roxwell, Chelmsford in May.

They were lucky enough to have mainly good weather and the scouts reportedly had a great time!

The Family camp was held in Abington at our local scouts campsite during June, it was also a very successful event.

This is generally a great time to get all the families together, for them to experience what it is like to be a member of scouts, and join in activities that they wouldn't normally get to do - we had around 140 people this year!.
A Big Thank You to Everyone for making it a fantastic event!
