Scout or Scote Hall is on a small hill on the south side of upper Shibden Dale. The history of the site can be traced back to 1315 when the Stancliffe family were owners. By Elizabethan times, there were two large houses here. There is no date on the present building, but a nearby cottage has 1661 on it, and a sundial plate dated ANNO 1617. It is a large 3-storey, 52 room, four square building built and owned by the Mitchell family in the late 1600s. It has a mixture of architectural styles, from Jacobean, Caroline and Georgian to Italianate. It is thought by some to be a Calendar building - its 12 bays representing the months, the 52 doors the weeks and the 365 windows the days. By the mid-1980s, the Hall was derelict and in a serious state of decay and ruin; it was partially restored in the 1980s by local businessman Peter Mellor, but now [2003] seems to be again in a state of disrepair. It was once described by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, in his 'Buildings of England', as a "half derelict palace in the deserted English countryside".
The Hall is a Grade II* listed building. Nine 2- light mullioned and transomed windows to south divided into groups of 3, 4 and 2 by small, elliptical openings set in corniced rectangular panels. Central corniced doorway. Moulded storey bands. 4 windows to east return. 3 windows to west with tier of elliptical openings. Rear wing in ruins.
The Bonfire Yell is one of the highlights of the annual Scouting Camporee. The boy scouts and girl scouts of SFAMSC show off their talents in dance, acting, and singing as they perform their cheers and yells exulting the values of scouting and challenging the other patrols to do better with friendly jabs that help spark healthy competition. To give their very best performance, each patrol dedicate many days to choreograph and practice their yells. This activity helps develop important life skills such as cooperation, teamwork, creativity, and the strength of character to be able to perform publicly. Audiences are usually surprised so see once timid and shy students shine and give it their all in the Bonfire Yell.
Paused on the talus field looking back down at the valley we had hiked up. Sun somewhere out there under the clouds.
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this homemade sign near a small lake on the northwest side of Mt. Adams, Washington around the 7000 ft level.
The sign says "Seattle 65 BSA Summit Aug-8-1934."
I'm assuming the BSA stands for Boy Scouts of America. In 1934 this sign must have had a better view of the mountain. The tree it's on has died and will probably be down in a couple of years, disappearing into the wilderness area. Maybe there's a former Boy Scout out there somewhere that remembers climbing Mt. Adams in 1934.

Please correct me if the label is wrong! I'm not as familiar with the various form of Storm Troopers.
