100 Years of
Scouting in Connah's Quay!
In
1907
Scouting's founder, Baden-Powell, held an experimental camp for 20 boys on Brownsea Island in
Poole Harbour. In 1908, Captain Marriott founded a Scout Group in Connah's Quay.
A century later, Connah's Quay Scout Group is celebrating their centenary in
