Scout Camps

A Memory of Old Springs.

Members of the 2nd St Mary's Scout Troop Market Drayton were allowed to camp at one of the farms on this estate. Major Harding lived in the house, he was the Area Scout Commissioner and even though he only had one arm (lost during the 1st WW I believe) he was quite active. We were allowed to play on the lake with a variety of home made rafts. No "ELTH & SAFETY" in those days, we were also able to collect Moorhen eggs whilst on the lake which supplemented the rations aquired from our parents.
