18th Hove Salvation Army Cub Pack c.1950

By Keith Upward

The 18th Hove Salvation Army Cub Pack was formed in 1950. My younger brother Hugh was one of the first members, along with a few of his mates. I was already a member of the 4th Hove Pack, but transfered to the 18th due to them having much more fun and sporting/activities success. As I was a Senior Sixer, I was made leader of the Pack due to the fact  that the Pack had not been formed long enough for any of the Boys to have attained the same status.

Can anyone recognise the "Bone" Trophy and it's significance?
