David,I don't remember by name but I think I am on that photo, there are members on it that were in the cub troop at the same time as me, the photo will not expand so cannot be sure, however I think I am on the back row second in from the right, I think the lad to my left is called Steven Powell, at the other end of that row extreme left is Michael Rushton, then I think Philip Gorner(not positive. In front of them is Steven Rossbottom, His mum and dad were Landlord/Lady of the Colliers Arms in frog lane, I also recognise many others but can't put a name to them.
Hi Damian, Yes that is probably you. I have just found the book Scouting for Boys by Robert Baden-Powell that I was give by the 7th Wigan (All Saints) Cub Pack. That was in 1967 when we left Wigan for Cannock in Staffordshire, just after I gained my Leaping Wolf badge. Signed in the front by Mair Ingram (Akela) Owen Ingram

Hi Damian I think you are right about that being Steven Powell. Its a blast from the past
Blimey! Just come across this. Yep, it's me. Memories, eh... Hello all. FYI there's an FB site for old (being the operative word!) Bluecoat pupils if anyone is interested.
