Lonsdale District Scouts

This photo from the District’s archives, dated 1953/4, shows a group of Morecambe & Heysham Scouters.

Back row, left to right, Frank? Abley, Albert Mortimer (2nd Mcbe), Norman Perryman (6th Mcbe), Cliff Wilman (11th Mcbe) and Geoff Colwill (3rd Mcbe).
Front row, Jim Halden (Slyne) & Francis Middlebrook(13th Mcbe).

I think the photo will have been taken at the Overton campsite, behind the Globe Hotel.
