Summer 1961 - The above photo was taken at the "Braes"
Tullibody and the occasion was the official presentation of Queen Scout Awards
to three Tullibody Boy Scouts. These were the first Queen Scout Awards to
be received for some years in Tullibody. The previous Queen Scout award was
made to Andrew Jamieson, about 5 years before. Those receiving the Awards
were, from left to right, Robert Anderson, Duncan Brember and John Frew. Making
the awards was the County Commissioner for Scouts, Major Ramsay Tullis. Overlooking
the event was Ian Cameron, the Tullibody Group Scout Master and some members
of the Tullibody troop. The elder scouts are, Ian Pryde, Jim Sommerville and
Douglas Anderson on the left; on the right next to John Frew are, Philip Fotheringham
and Ian Gilmore. Major Tullis was a great supporter of the Tullibody Scouts
and made the Tullis grounds available for major fund raising events for the
Tullibody Scouts. Mrs Tullis was also very supportive of the local Scouts
and Guides, and was in fact also the County Commissioner for Guides. It was
during the Major's tenure as County Commissioner that the Tullibody Scout
Hut moved from it's post war site of being on Stirling Road, immediately in
alignment with Crofts Road, to that of its present location behind Abercromby
School. - Picture and information from John
