Wangle III

Date: 21st Aug 2022 Author: Phil Hunt

The exclusive Daily Telegraph photo published on 31 August 1950 is believed to be the last photo taken of the ‘Wangle III’. The 27′ whaler was being towed out of Dover Harbour some days before it was tragically lost. This photo was handed in to the court of inquiry.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
