Cambridge District Scout Archive
In researching Cambridge Scouts who died in conflicts occasionally a reference is found to a Scout who was outside Cambridge District; most likely Cambridgeshire Scout County.
Where these are not included on Gilwell Rolls of Honour they have been noted and forwarded to the Scouts Heritage Team.
They are on a separate list and identified alphabetically.
