Photograph, 1st Kew Scout Group, 1st Kew Scout Troop, 1926

Physical description

Group photograph of the 1st Kew Troop in uniform, with three shields. In the photo, there are seventeen Cubs (wearing caps), fifty-eight Scouts and Rover Scouts (wearing hats) and three leaders (Roy Driver ASM, R.J. Peowrie SM, Dave Evans ASM). Despite the hand annotation on the photo “1926”, it most likely celebrates the year 1925 when the Cubs won the ‘Neish Shield’, the Scouts won the ‘Cohen Shield’ and the Rover Scouts won the ‘Matthew Evans Shield’ – i.e. each section won their respective Victorian Scoutcraft competitions.
