Formally known as the 1st Vale of Pickering Scout Archives. The Scouting Yesterdays Archive holds many interesting Scouting bygones, 100's of Badges over 30 Uniforms and many many more interesting artifacts. The archive was set up in 2009 as a research project on Pickering Scouts but in 2015 went through a complete reform and update so here we are today as the Scouting Yesteryear's Archive. (privately Owned Archive) our aim is to educate people of the history of Scouting.

Archive talk
Had a good afternoon giving a talk to the Womans group at Pickering Methodist Chapel. Coverd many aspects of the history of local and national Scouting and met the old Wolf Cub Leader 'Baloo' who was with the Cub Pack in the 1960s.
