Overview
In 1961 whilst still in their old HQ, Scouts from the 3rd Orpington "Pathfinders" ring in the New Year with a party! They start with the rough and tumble of a game of British Bulldog followed by some much needed refreshments - which the intertitle decribes as " beautifully cooked and tastefully served" with more than a touch of irony! The hotdogs are quickly followed by home made meringues leaving many happy smiling faces.
This film is from the collection of Bromley Historic Collections, Local Studies and Archives, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
