This picture shows the 1st Ramsden and Downham Scout Group's Circular Badge.

In a Group that has been Scouting since 1912, it is rather difficult to gather information about all the camps that our members have been involved in.

However, this is as complete a list that any of the current Leaders can remember!

If you know of any more camps, please let us know! Email us: radscouts@aol.com

If you allow us a few months or years, we will try to add some photographs from all of these camps!
