<<BADEN-POWELL was the founder of the Scouting movement
in South Africa. I have been given these informative pamphlets
that pertain to early settlers in South Africa by a member of the
Scouting movement in the Port Elizabeth district.

Brownies, Cubs, Girl Guides and Scouts all work for badges
and one of their projects was to identify early pioneers who
disembarked on the shores of South Africa. Some of the surnames
are even lucky to have a Family Crest, thanks to the imagination
and creative flair of the child concerned. Sadly, there
are no names to identify the researcher. >>

Regards
Becky
