Hi Russ
Have you tried Gilwell Park? and what about the National Archive in Poole?
and before you ask, I am dredging my memory banks here, I seem to remember that there is a museum in Poole that holds loads of Scouting Memorabilia (although it may have been shipped to Brownsea for next year). Therefore I do not have numbers, or names or addresses, Just a thought. I have seen one round here recently but I can't for the life of me remember where, will do some digging for you.

I have tried the museum in Poole but unfortunately they are closed for refurbishment til mid 2007 and I don't think they have anything on B-P but it did give us an idea to try Brownsea island so I am waiting a reply from the National Trust at the moment.
I have also tried all the Main Scouting sources including Scouting Magazine with no joy

Thanks again

Russ

we did manage to get a picture of BP in time for the Show however we were seriously let down by the company we were using to enlarge it up and it arrived on the last day of our Show week so was useless and cost us £200. Still better luck next time........

The best painting of BP is in the National Portrait Gallery in London.If anybody in the future requires a picture/photo contact them directly via their website.Dr.Stu..
