Tent Inspection

Going to camp which like most things is currently off, in the past would of involved more making it as while the site was there, there was rather less use of purpose built accommodation and I think it wasn't until around the very early 1970's restrictions on the Cubs camping out became stricter.

Before then and afterwards for those over nine and a half the Cub slept in his tent that would with sometimes a bit of help as needed putting down the groundsheet and erecting the remainder.

Here we have the other element of it, the Wolf Cubs who are from Surrey are required to stand to attention for tent inspection by their Leader as they will be judge on it not only for just putting them up but also for tidiness in this nineteen fifties photograph unusually in colour. 

Apart from having a great time, they are learning to responsible boys.
