A very short lived 9th existed for perhaps as little as two weeks in July 1910. St Giles was named as the 9th Troop in a Cambridge Independent Press article, almost certainly written by a Scout Officer. The same article named the Queens’ choir patrols as working with the 1st. St Giles became the 3rd British Boy Scouts shortly afterwards, returning to the B.-P. Scouts in 1912 as the 15th.
A football match between the 9th and Officers of the District described the 9th as the ‘Green scarf brigade.’ Our Scouts Column Cambridge Journal 11/1/22
In 1957 the 9th did not participate in the Midsummer Common 50th/ 100th Anniversary camp. C T Wood sent his apologies but no explanation.
