Ward End Scouts: A memory of Ward End

Ward End Scouts

A Memory of Ward End.

I was a member of 1st Ward End Scouts Group from 1956 until 1971. First known as the 45th Birmingham, they became known as the 34th Birmingham in the late '60s (?) when they merged with the nearby 181. Our headquarters were in Rogers Road. The group is still going today.

Hi Roy, May name is Colin Walker and I am Scout Historian I am currently doing research on British Rover Crews. I have an image of pennent half purple half black with a Birmingham County badge and sewn at the top edge of the County Badge is the name tape for Ward End Rover- red script letters on white. I wonder if you have any memories of Ward End Rovers - den - RSL special service - what every. Happy Christmas Colin

Hi. My late father was a member of the 1st Ward End Scout Group - a Kings Scout in the Rovers. Took him to their HQ on Rogers Road a few months ago before he passed. He must have been there the same time as Roy as he was born in 1939 so was in the Rover Crew 1956/1957 onwards. Duncan.
