At this camp we were joined by three Norwegian Troops and it was named “Caaboska ’62”. The Norwegian Troops returned with us to Calne and were entertained for a week, by the parents and friends of the Calne Scout Group and needless to say lifelong friendships were made. During this week the New Group Headquarters at Castlefields were opened by Colonel Thyre, County Commissioner. Presentations were made – to G.S.M. Frank Gregory, of the Silver Acorn for his outstanding services to Scouting, and – to Mr. Cameron Gough and Mr. E.J.
