A further 3 are no longer members of our Lodge. In addition to being installed by the GM who was a member of our BP Lodge at the time, the highlights of my years with the Lodge would be to have Installed Hugh Stevens and Nigel Cavell (former Crew members) as WMs. Scouting Background: Peter joined Scouting in 1938 and held positions in Text Box: the Cubs, Scouts, Seniors (Venturer) and Rover Sections. Warrants held during this time were as follows: Asst Scout Master — 1st Armadale Scout Master — 1st Armadale Scout Master, Seniors — 1st Armadale Rover Scout Leader — 1st Hawksburn Rover Scout Leader — 1st Hartwell Asst Area Commissioner — East Suburban Area Area Commissioner — West Metro Area in WA.
