The Mystery of the Frank Hartley Shield

Frank Hartley along with Ernie Bishop was the co-founder of our Group in 1951.  He was the father of our current Group Scout Leader.

The shield was presented to him by “The Seniors” at a time we believe he was the Scout Master.

It has been suggested it was presented to him by our first Queens Scouts, pictured below in 1956.  But do you know different?

If you think you know the answer use the contact form to let us have your version of the story.  Our GSL would be eternally grateful.
