And more information from Keith...and a possible Scouts Reunion.....

Keith/All,

            I can clarify why the sign is for the "ROVER BAR"  Back in the dim dark distant past, before "Cub Scouts", "Scouts" & "Venture Scouts", in the age of sanforized khaki cotton uniforms, the Boy Scout Movement was organized age-wise as - Wolf Cubs, Boy Scouts, Senior Scouts & Rover Scouts. The reorganisation happened just about as I "made the leap" from Wolf Cub to Boy Scout (Having attained my "Leaping Wolf" badge) Also, my father had been the Rover Scout Leader with the 16th Burton (Stapenhill) troop where I started my scouting career. Cheers, Chris/Wally
