The scout master at that time was the minsters son but I do not recall his name.
He was succeeded by Barry Gilbert who was the person that introduced sailing and canoeing to the troop and this was the time we changed to become sea scouts. I remember having to sand and varnish the 2 boats every year and also canoeing down the Tweed on a number of occasions, usually starting of from Peebles
I remember a number of summer camps, my first one was near Pitlochry, others were in the grounds of Longformacus House in East Lothian and Ringour farm near new Galloway in Aug 1964. A number of us once spent a Christmas in a rundown cottage near Lauder, with lots of snow and not a lot of heating.
