THE ARMY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION in 1949 hosted a number of social groups including a Rover Scout group.  The group organised regular hikes and camps.  One of the favourite hikes on a Sunday was from Bodmin to Fowey via Lostwithiel (calling at a pub on the way for lunch and cider) and returning to Bodmin in the evening by bus or train.

   A river trip provided a restful interlude before returning home. Left to right: Dave Letchford, Harry Price and Roger Spurr.

   A weekend camp on the cliffs above Mevagissey with Ivor Binney and Roger Spurr and other Rover crew members not shown in the picture. Spurr, who had only just joined the crew and had no Rover Scout uniform, had to wear his army uniform. The group travelled from Bodmin by bus to St Austell and then walked, carrying the camping gear, from there to the camp site.
