"Overton Scouts at camp IOW (Isle of Wight) - 1907". Front row - numbering from L to R: 1 Bert Smith, 3 Powell, 4 Stan Kercher, 6 Edwin Hayes. Middle row: 1 Bert Redstall, 4 Ern Lambden, 6 Reg Wright. The date is interesting because it is the same year as the "first" scout camp on Brownsea Island and before the publication of "Scouting for Boys". A possible explanation is that B-P was a close friend of Colonel Bertram Portal who was influential in the establishment of Scouts in Overton.
