6th BOSTON
We discussed all this with the Cub Unit Parents committee. Our proposal was to move the whole unit to Carrington the next village to our own and a little nearer to Boston. It was also not too far from the homes of many of the young boys attending this particular Cub Unit.
Ruth and I both felt that at Carrington we would have a much improved catchment area to attract a greater number of boys to the unit.
Carrington Village Hall was connected to the estate owned by the Ward family and Mrs Ward Senior was the Chairman of our Parochial Church Council and our local Primary School Governors, both committees on which I served also.
We had an agreement that the Cubs would be able to use the hall every week.
After much huffing and puffing we managed to persuade the parents that the move would be a good thing.
In fact it was and quite quickly a Scout unit was started as well. Ruth and I obtained new warrants and in 1971 the 6th Boston Scout and Cub Scout Unit was duly formed. (I might add that when I last checked in 2010, the unit was still flourishing)!
