Paddy Glasgow and the crew went out to chat to Nancy Hegarty about her time as one of the founders & leaders of the 33rd Derry Ballinascreen Scouts. They talk about how it all started, who was there at the beginning, their first building as well as a few of Nancy’s favourite moments from her scouting days.
Sadly, Nancy has passed away since we went to see her. With her family’s permission, we are happy to share this conversation with you all.
Rest easy, Nancy, from all at Glasgowbury.
