Left - Right Mark Holland.Tony Cahill and Peter Burns at the Sumner Cup competition ( probably Haigh Plantations ) around 1969/70.
The Sumner Cup was a competition based on camping and scouting skills and efficiency open to all scout troops in the Wigan area.
Looking at the photo ,Health and Safety wasn`t paramount in those days.
at year 23 teams entered and the winners were
1st , 1st Golborne (All Saints ) 324 points
2nd , 4th Wigan ,Queens Hall 273 points
3rd , Wigan St Annes 270 points
