SCOUTS and Cubs of the 6th Horwich Parish Church raised a cheer for their group Scoutmaster and Cubmaster in October, 1969.
Between them Mr George Wilkinson, aged 69, and his wife Emily, aged 66 - better known locally as "Skip" and "Auntie" - had given more than 88 years to Scouting.
At a presentation and social evening at Horwich Parish Church School, in recognition of their long service, they received presents from the parents' group and Scouts and Cubs.
