Mrs Pencilneck Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 This might help though the only Bedlington Scout Group left appears to still be based in Guide Post - though that'll probably because they sold the church hall at St Cuthberts to greedy developer scumbag types - (they may not be scumbags and all opinions expressed are mine and mine alone should anyone choose to be offended).Yee knaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Darn Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 funny you should mention it, but i did some digging myself, and it seams the only reason their aint a scout/brownie/rainbow group in bedlington is because no-one is willing to run it ! any offers?

Yes, it was right next to the cut into Bishops Meadow & opposite the Primary School (which I went to in the early 60's). So the Scouts place has been knocked down - I remember it as being a purpose-built venue, complete with a hall (plus stage - for gang shows) and gym stuff - wall-bars, ropes and rings, vaulting horses, etc. There was a tuck shop, office, training rooms, workshops where handcarts were made and where the Scouts could chop-up old pit-props into sticks. The stick-laden carts would be pulled by the Scouts around Bedlington so that the firewood could be sold door-to-door. Yes, I was one of the Scouts.Willie Hall was the Scout Master - he lived in a detached house on Hartford Road (opposite South Riggs) - I heard a rumour (I met, by chance in the 80's, a Bedlington lad on the London Underground who told me) that there was a bit of scandal but I can't remember any details.
