1964 Press Photo Britain's First Mixed Scout/Guide Troop- Sennowe Park, Guist

Britain's First Mixed Scout And Guide Troop Youngsters aged 15 to 18, members of Britain's first mixed Scout and Guide troop, and numbering 24 are spending a week in camp together. In patrols of three boys and three girls, they are camping at Sennowe Park, Guist, Norfolk. Their tents are side by side and they share all the shores, but more important, they are doing all their scouting together - building bridges, canoeing, hiking and map reading. University lecturer Don Varley, 40, assistant Commissioner for Senior Scouts at Nottingham, is the man behind the idea.
