History of the Hut

Officially 4th Bromsgrove has existed since 19th March 1931. This means that the Group is over 80 years old!

Andy B, a former 4th Scout, said, "4th’s hut by the way, was a Home Guard & ARP post during the war. Afterwards I think it became a Guide hut and apparently passed to the Scouts when the Guides decided the footpath entrance at the current back of the building was too dark & scary. In those days the hut only consisted of the main hall and the drive wasn’t part of the site. There are slight variations on that theme as things have got lost & twisted over time."
