This year marks 100 years of scouting in Kingston.

To celebrate the centenary the Surrey Comet has been delving into the past and producing a series of features about the scouting movement in the Royal borough.

We have examined each scout group, band and canoe club in turn, speaking to former members and highlighting some of the best and worst anecdotes of the past 100 years.
