Scouting for Boys

In the Refuge Conference Hall ,  Strangeways, on March 7th 1915, 24 youths of the Central Refuge made the Scout three-fold promise:-  To be loyal to God and the King,  To help other people at all times, To obey the Scout Law .  And so formed the 218th Manchester Troup of the Baden Powell Scouts.

Most of the material that represents the Together Trust archive has been collected over the years from within the charity’s records. The collecting policy for the Together Trust’s remit is quite small. However there are some items that have been added to the archive over the years from external sources. These have largely been made up of photographs gathered from ex residents and staff. A surprise letter the other week however added another important component to the archive.  2nd Cheadle Guides (Bethesda) Album, 1987
