What were your Six names at Scouts?

[Raleigh Chopper]

I never went to scouts but I was called at least six names at school.

Green six, then moved to red six as Sixer (7th Tonbridge Eden Valley), then Kingfisher where I ended up as patrol leader (2nd Tunbridge Wells, Rusthall)

I was in the 53rd Brighton, at the bottom of Dyke Road, behind the Taxi Rank.
Do they still exist? Don’t remember a name tho'

Kestrels sound familiar, what years are you talking?

That's a tough one. Cubs and Scouts sort of merged together in my mind and I don't think I spent more than a couple of years in Scouts, but I would say 65 to 67. I do remember wippy sticks at Park Wood!

Ah Park Wood - the wettest, boggiest camp site in the world ! Many an hour wasted playing around ( and some times in ) the bomb hole.

Hmmm. Didn't have such wild or masculine six names in the Brownies.

I think I was a Gnome

I was Sixer of the Kelpies and then the Imps.

It's what's set me up for a career in middle management, I believe.

42nd Brighton (Saltdean) and can't remember any of the patrol names - was a seconder in the yellows (I think) at cubs

My mum was a Brown Owl for many years down at Saltdean and the brownie girls used to come to our house to "do their badges" - SPC totally frowns on this now, them was the days .....

Cubs was just the colour of your woggle.

Scouts was Owls where I had supreme executive power.
