This photograph, we believe, was taken in November 1910. The scouter in the centre is the founder of our group, Douglas Foxwell. Directly behind Douglas Foxwell are the colours. These were embroidered by mothers of the scouts. The colours were presented in 1910.

Our cub section, we don't know when this was taken but the lady on the right hand side went on to be a leader in charge of Polaris Explorers. Can you remember the date or are you in the picture. Contact us!
Some of the cubs and scouts that went to Holland to visit a Dutch Scout group. The trip was all down to a friendship that had been forged 23 years earlier in 1965. This Photograph was taken for the Derby Evening Telegraph in 1988
Even scout leaders have to wash the pots and pans.

Our HQ originally was based on Full Street in Derby in the All Saints Church House. This was next to the River Derwent, hence the word Derwent added in brackets to our name. In the late 20's we were using Capt Bennett's house and extensive gardens for our meetings. A new housing estate called for the demolition of his house so this gave us the idea to build our own HQ. Reginald Treadgold (The Asst Scouter) was a house agent and civil engineer. He drew up plans for our HQ whilst we bought some land from behind St Giles church in Normanton. The photo's that you are about to see are all different stages in the construction of our HQ which is still in use today after 90 years.
