24th 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.

The 24th Hendon Group was formed in 1937 by the Rev. Butler and its first Scouter was ‘Simba’ Davies and the Troop trophy which is competed for annually is named after him. Its headquarters were built in the grounds belonging to St Matthias Church Council.

According to the District Directory dated June 1965, this Group still existed and was still meeting at St Matthias Church. The colour of their scarf was grey. The GSM/RSL was E Rossiter, the SM Keith Kirkland and the CM Mrs P Williams.
