Scouts
6th Aden Troop Jewish Boy Scouts
Baden-Powell, Chief Scout of the
World, visited Aden in November 1934. Troops were based on
schools and at the time of his visit there were only five
Troops, with strengths as follows:
The scout troop's quarters were a disused sergeant's
mess and the former barrack square. Although the Arabs and Jews would not
serve in the same patrols together they interacted quite
well at camp-fire singalongs. The Jewish scouts were
well-dressed in their smart uniforms and equipped with every
possible accessory due to a local merchant benefactor. The other
scouts were, unfortunately, less well-equipped.
