A Little History...
The photographs below are of our Old Scout Hut. It was located close to the long gone Derby University Mickleover complex.

When the university moved off their site they sold it to some developers who wanted to build a housing estate on the whole site. Unfortunately for them our Scout Hut was in their way. After a lot of long and difficult negotiations, Bill (we do it for the kids) Ratcliff managed to get the builders to construct our new headquarters - at their expense. That's the good news. The bad news is that the new headquarters costs a lot, lot more to run than the old one ever did.
