<p>THE DISPUTE OVER THE SCOUT'S HUT</p>
<p>In the E.D.P. was a report, that the hut used by the scouts for about 70 years, that is wrong, no hut was there at that time. Scouts yes, and a time before that. I joined the 1st Cawston Scout Group in March 1920, as a Wolf Cub, then in the Scouts four years later. Our meeting place was a small room, next to the rectory little kitchen, it had a floor like you would find in a stable, was hardly room to move, then later on, the Rev. T.H. Marsh let us have some buildings at the bottom of the rectory property, backing on to Goose pie Lane. We cleaned all the muck out, and M.D. Howard and Son did all the work on it, and made us a good room.</p>
<p>We got up a concert to raise funds to pay for it, we had two nights, had a full house each time, tickets cost 9 pence and 6 pence. Got enough to pay for it. We also did the same show at Holt, Reepham and Salle.</p>
<p>A Miss Chamber, from West Runton, did some charcoal drawings on the walls. I was a senior scout and helped Rev. Haylock of Booton and Brandiston to run Booton scouts until he moved away, the helper, the late Tom Sayer.</p>
