Historical documents recording Salisbury Scouts twinning to St Germain, France in 1946 have been presented to the district commissioner of the scouts for safe keeping.
Henri Marshall from St Germain, France, was invited to lunch with Salisbury Rotary Club to present the historic documents.
"The historic documents will be kept in the safe keeping of the Scouting Association and be available as a historic record of post war scouting activities in Salisbury.
"The documents consist of a photograph album, a scrap book produced by the individual Scout Groups in Salisbury District which could best be described as a district scouting almanac, and a reel of 16mm cine film, which as yet, we have no idea what it contains."
