Scope and Content

Hans Winn was a child war refugee from occupied Belgium. He arrived in Colwyn Bay with his family in 1940 and joined the 3rd Rhos-on-Sea Scout Group for a short time before moving to the 2nd Colwyn Bay Sea Scout Group. Shortly after the Second World War he returned to Belgium. He got back into contact with Conwy Scouting as a result of information gathering for the scouting centenary and attended the celebrations held by 3rd Rhos-on-Sea (now 5th Colwyn Bay) Scout Group in 2007.
