    Boy Scouts. Baden - Powell.
    1857 - Baden - Powell’s date of birth.
    1907 - Beginning of scouting on Brownsea island.
    1957 - 9th World Scout Jamboree. 50th anniversary of the start of the scouting movement and 100th anniversary of Baden - Powell’s birth.

    The Jamboree was held at Sutton Park (I went to it) so I guess this may have been a special train on the way to the Midlands for the occasion.
    The headboard was the logo used to commemorate the Jubilee.

    Dave.

    The locomotive is also significant.
    Lord Rowallan was Chief Scout in 1957.

    I remember the occasion very well. Not so much the Jamboree, but the day we went we got caught in one of the most spectacular thunderstorms I’ve ever seen!
