During the twentieth century the Guide and Scouting movement and Parlington were inexorably linked, many references have been uncovered which show the camping holidays that were enjoyed by the Scouts. Even on a recent visit to a heritage meeting at Leeds Civic Hall, one delegate explained that she had fond memories of camping at Parlington! Well here are two iconic pictures from around the 1920’s, kindly provided by David Teal quote: “I’ve dug out the photos of the Scouts in Parlington Park, I’m told it was the 13th Leeds N.E. group in about c.1920.”
