13th Hendon

Note: The following has been prepared from an article that appeared in the 1957 Hendon Local Association booklet that marked 50 years of Scouting. It was prepared at their invitation by Frank Griffiths, assisted by Lionel Siret and Jack Le Fort.

Apart from the original Hampstead Sea Scouts which absorbed the original 1st Hendon Troop before the First World War, there has never been a Sea Scout Troop in Hendon until the formation of the 13th Hendon Sea Scout Troop founded by Messrs Richardson, Page and P Griffiths. Its present Headquarters is a Hut on Simmonds Mead at Mill Hill Circus.

The colour of their scarf was navy blue and yellow halves. The GSM is recorded as W R Page, the SM as M Cox and the CM as Mrs Wheatley.
