On the 12th of October 1956, Mr. Carl Rayner, as Divisional Secretary, signed the papers for the 2nd Somerset West group to officially start. The original scout meeting place was at the All Saints Church Hall. 2nd Somerset West received the old 1st Somerset West scout scarf colours of Red and Yellow. Troop meetings back then started at 7pm. Since then we have moved to a new Scout Hall on Drama Street which was officially opened on the 12th November 1971 by Mr.E.Glass, who was the District Commissioner at the time. We still wear the Red and Yellow loud and proud and have grown to be one of the best troops in the district. Our Group has a cub pack and scout troop with a great committee.
