1978 – 50th Anniversary of the Chancellor Cup
50th Anniversary of the Chancellor Cup
9-12 September 1978
In 1978, the Chancellor Cup Scout Camping competition celebrated its 50th anniversary. The cup was first given to the Scouts of Mashonaland in 1928 by Sir John Chancellor, the first Governor of Southern Rhodesia (1923-1928).
The camp ran over four days at Coronation Park in Salisbury. While previous camps ran at Ruwa Park, the event was moved to Salisbury due to security concerns surrounding the Bush War.
