Provenance |
This flag belonged to the First Eden Mills Wolf Cubs. It was used between 1973 and 1980. Lorna Tomlinson, Betty Marshall and Joan Chamberlain were Eden Mills residents involved with the Cubs during this time. The 1st Eden Mills Scout Troop was founded in 1959 with Tom Bould as its first Scout Master. In 1961, Jack Bould (father of Tom Bould) took over as Scout Master, with his other son Bob Bould as assistant. In 1973, the troop was re-formed by Bob Johns and Charlie Barnes. The 1st Eden Mills Cubs may have been founded at the same time as the Scout troop. |
