From a letter to Shirley Mayall at the Welsh Scout Council in 1993

In 193O/31 it was decided to form a new  scout group meeting at St.David’s Church schoolroom in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno. I attended the first meeting when the 4th Llandudno Troop and Wolf Cub Pack was formed. We wore khaki shirts, shorts and stockings. Neckerchiefs were black with a maroon border. We had two patrols, the Swifts and Eagle. The former had dark blue shoulder tapes, the latter, green and white. We wore a red dragon beneath the name tag “4th Llandudno” at the top of each arm. The Scout Badge was worn on the left breast-pocket. A Second was denoted by a single white tape on the left of the badge, patrol leader, a white tape each side of the badge, troop leader had a. third tape running behind the badge. A silver metal star with a green cloth back—ground was awarded for each year of service but later replaced by a single star with a number in the centre showing how many years served. This was worn above the left breast- pocket. We had those huge scout hats. Patrol leaders bearing a silver metal badge on it. We had the essential scout pole with measured markings,

I remember that the 1st Llandudno were Sea Scouts wearing navy jersey with SEA SCOUTS in white across the chest. Their scarves were blue and white. The 2nd LIandudno, St Georges, wore green jerseys and their scarves were red and green. I regret I cannot remember anything of the 3rd Llandudno.

I enjoyed my time in the movement. My grandson, living in Wiltshire, has progressed from the Cub Scouts and is now a Venture Scout, which was a Rover Scout in my day.

It would be nice to be able to supply more information it’s a very long time ago. I am now 76.
