On December 16th 2016, the newspapers were reporting on the Cub Scouts celebrating their 100th anniversary. On the same morning, a parcel was gifted to the archive from Mr. James Hasler, a Master at the School from 1949 and Scoutmaster, 1954-1956. It contained a log book, a collection of photographs of the Scouts at camp c.1954 and a lovely pen and ink sketch of the camp, drawn by Mr. W. L. Woods, then Head of Art.
The selection of photographs show Mr.Hasler and the boys unloading on arrival at Camp; one of the Scout Patrols with their kit ready for inspection; Mr. J.E. Chinneck Assistant Scoutmaster issuing pocket money for an unsupervised Saturday afternoon trip into Burford and the very smart Sunday parade at Swinbrook Church.
