"On a Saturday morning in the spring of 1910, a number of West Brantford boys were playing on the river bank, when a young Scotsman met them. He asked whether they had ever thought of joining the Boy Scouts, or if hey had ever heard of them. The lads, knew nothing of the Boy Scouts, but they soon heard much of them from the young Scot, Allan MacFarlane. From this meeting came the West Brantford Troop, the first to be organized in Brantford. This troop with Mr. MacFarlane as Scoutmaster and W.E.L. Hart as Assistant Scoutmaster carried on until about the beginning of the Great War, Brantford's first Scoutmaster later became District Commissioner.""The Boy Scouts of Brantford", by Scouter W. F. Billo, Brantford Expositor, Saturday, April 11, 1936
