Former Ranger Guides, Venture/Explorer Scouts and Leaders of the Dell (Stoneleigh) Joint Unit, covering a span from 1967 to 2003, met at the Stoneleigh Scout and Guide Hall in March 2017.
Refreshing old acquaintances and sharing very fond memories of their DJU days. Many have since or are still, helping in Scouting or Guiding in some way, either in Epsom and Ewell, Leatherhead or other Districts.
The DJU have held reunions in 1992 and 1996, but this one was prompted when some members attended the funeral of Ranger Leader, Peggy Hanley, in 2016, leading to a quest to contact again as many of the 300 former members as possible.
They succeeded in contacting 240 (over 80%) and 107 came to the Reunion. If you were a DJU (or Dell Mixed Unit) member and didn’t hear from the organisers, email DJUexmembers@gmail.com .
