The picture
above was taken of the troop whilst returning to school
from a week long Jamboree at Picton Castle near
Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
The troop leader was young Simon Briggs
(front row second left).
Staff: Mr.
Stewart Brindley 1948 to 1958 (far left, back row left);
Mr. Colin Noble (far right, back row). "We travelled down in our school
bus - a World War II converted Bedford Desert Ambulance.
We stopped on the top of a hill just outside of Monmouth
to take this picture (left). This international Jamboree
was an event with scout troops from the Commonwealth,
I remember boys from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and
America. We all got our Jamboree badges."
(Looking at the photo above the square
patch on the right breast pocket is the badge.)
