This Gallery of photographs relating to 4th Parkstone Sea Scouts has been given to Poole Maritime Trust. Some of the people have been identified but we would love to identify and date the others. Do you recognise anybody? If so, please let us know. secretary@poolemaritimetrust.org or visit us at our HQ above Canford Cliffs Library. We are open on Thursdays from 10am to 12 noon and on the first Saturday of each month from 10am to 12 noon. If you have any further information, photographs or ephemera about any of the local Sea Scout companies do let us know and perhaps we could copy for our archives.
