The Old Cantabrigian Society records the County School Troop (below) as starting in 1915 and gives details of war time activities. The original scarf is described as yellow and purple.
At the time that the Trinity College Choir were to work with the 7th at least two Trinity men were working with the Troop. None of the above are listed on the school Roll of Honour.
1976 A notice in the July Cambridge Scout Gazette recorded that the 7th and 23rd were working together for three months, possibly amalgamating on the 1st January 1976.

The 7th /23rd Cambridge was part of South Cambridge District. IN 1983 a county report states ‘7th/32rd again starting with the Cub pack’. In 1987 a (troop?) was reported as to have been ‘up and running’ with six Scouts with possibly another four after half term. A brass disc which recorded camps of the 7th/23rd is held by the 13th. The last camp was 2008.
