HILDA and Eric Sutton from Crossens re-lived happy memories of their son’s Scouts days when they stumbled across these old photographs.
They are of their son Barry who is now 49 and was either 10 or 11 at the time of the photographs.
The Scouts group was run by Clifford Sckoyles who has since passed away but is fondly remembered for his valiant efforts to establish the Scouts’ base at a building in Mosley Street, Southport.
Hilda, 75, of Rufford Road, said: “Clifford worked really hard for the building and to set the Scouts up there. A lady called Lassie still runs it and we still do whatever we can for it.
“In one of the pictures our son Barry is holding a flag of St George because all the Scouts were having a parade of flags in the town. The other picture is taken at the Mosley Street address where the building was established.”
Eric, 77, who married Hilda at Emmanuel Church 54 years ago, said: “I played a part in making the Scout group into Air Scouts. They have an event coming up in September so we are looking forward to that.”
