I found this site<\/a> the other day which allows people to create their own videos by using old archive ones. So I had a look and came up with some that showed local Scouts in years gone by.<\/p>\n

<\/object> <\/p>\n

There are, in fact, four videos here that I have stitched together. <\/p>\n

The first is the visit by King George V<\/a> and Queen Mary to Stoke-on-Trent<\/a> in 1925. Although no Scouts are shown, it would be highly improbable that they wouldn\u2019t be there for such an important visitor.<\/p>\n

The second shows Scouts parading with their band in Dresden<\/a> in 1941. There is a shot of some Guides at the end as well.<\/p>\n

The next shows the VE Day<\/a> celebrations on 8th May 1945, in, and I\u2019m guessing here, Hanley<\/a>. Some Brownies<\/a> and Guides<\/a> can be seen before the Scouts are shown throwing an effigy of Lord Haw Haw<\/a> on a bonfire!<\/p>\n

Finally, there is clip of the Scout Rally held at Port Vale\u2019s<\/a> football ground in 1951.<\/p>\n

When I get chance, I\u2019ll have a look at some of the old documents I am looking after to see if there is any mention of King George\u2019s visit and the Rally. I\u2019m quite sure that some of my Group\u2019s Scouts and Cubs would have attended the Rally, so it will be interesting to see what I can find out about it. Watch this space!<\/p>\n
