Morecambe Guardian 22 November 1957:-
New scout troop
A NEW Scout troop – the 7th Morecambe – is being inaugurated tonight (Friday) at Sion Baptist church school-room when six boys are expected to be enrolled.
The troop is being formed by the church’s minister the Rev. A. S. Else, who will be Scoutmaster.
He told a “Guardian” reporter “To start we will only have Scouts and if things progress reasonably well a Guide section may be introduced. Boys are buying their own uniforms but we are giving financial assistance to those who need it.”
Mr. Else has been connected with the movement for many years in the past as both a Scout and an Rover. ”But this Scoutmaster role is entirely different. I will be serving it for a probationary period.”
Among the boys to be enrolled by the Assistant District Scout Commissioner, Mr. M. Melling, will by Mr. Else’s son Matthew. The others are David Palmer, Michael Larrie, Geoffrey Bedford, Peter Dixon and Jeremy Barton.
