Yes Nick those were the colours.I started in the cub pack first and then went into the scout troop.stayed on until I left the area in '67.Like Fatfingers I too was christend there,also my parents were married at the church. Keegs.

Was it not in Small Heath,I went to the scout group there(131st St Andrews) andgrew up around the corner from it.Our adress was always Small Heath.
