*The 'Group' system was not introduced until 1928
Neckerchiefs: Purists may wish to argue the colours of some of the neckerchiefs.
Over the years, descriptions in the records could change eg gold becoming amber becoming yellow.
Also, as today, manufacturing variations could occur.
Meeting Places: Unless otherwise stated, the meeting places listed are those of the Troop.
Whilst the information is in the records, no attempt has been made here to record the various schools,
huts, dens, lofts and grottos in which the other sections met.
If you are seeking further information about specific Groups or can offer corrections,
please contact the archivists.
