About the Walthams Scout Group

Probably formed in 1910 informally (as was done in those days) then offically registered with HQ on the 11th September 1911 as 4th Chelmsford (Great Waltham), then in 1913 re-registered as 1st Great Waltham. The Troop ran from 1913 to 1922 then ceased for a few years restarting in 1928 to 1932, again a break appearing for one year only in 1938, beginning again during the war in 1943 to 1947, in 1947 renamed 14th Chelmsford (The Walthams) but only had a Cub Pack, no Scouts. In 1950 it joined with Gt. Leighs Scouts as a Group, in 1952 also amalgamated with 22nd Chelmsford (Boreham Airfield), then re-registered in 1959 as 1st Great Walthams changing again in 1970 to The Walthams as it is today.
