Back from Canada to Meltham was scout Paul Vickers, whose family emigrated across
Back from Canada to Meltham was scout Paul Vickers, whose family emigrated across the Atlantic six years ago. Paul, 14, is pictured with members of the 5th Holme Valley (Meltham) scouts and group scout leader Dave Curtis just before he returned to his home in Perth, Ontario, after a 12-week visit to Meltham. The eldest child of Alan and Maureen Vickers, Paul stayed at the Hay Cresent home of his grandparents, Mrs and Mrs Ken Stokes. During his stay he attended local scout meetings, took part in activities including pioneering and canoeing and swapped a variety of scouting badges with his Meltham contemporaries. 3rd September 1987

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see scout Paul Vickers standing proudly alongside members of the 5th Holme Valley (Meltham) scouts and group scout leader Dave Curtis. After six long years, Paul has returned to his hometown of Meltham from Canada, where his family had emigrated across the vast Atlantic Ocean. At just 14 years old, Paul's visit to Meltham lasted for a remarkable 12 weeks. During this time, he resided with his loving grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Stokes at their Hay Crescent home. Eager to reconnect with his scouting roots, Paul actively participated in local scout meetings and engaged in thrilling activities such as pioneering and canoeing. One of the highlights of Paul's stay was undoubtedly the badge swapping tradition that took place between him and his fellow scouts from Meltham. This cultural exchange allowed them to share their unique scouting experiences while fostering a sense of camaraderie among these young adventurers. As this image captures a moment frozen in time on September 3rd, 1987 - it serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of youthfulness and friendship that transcends borders and distance. It reminds us all that no matter how far we roam or where life takes us, our roots will always hold a special place in our hearts.
