To commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the Wolf Cub section of the Coventry Boy Scouts, a special two-acre field was officially opened at Rough Close by Mrs. E. E Williams, who founded the 20th Coventry Cub pack in 1917.

To commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the Wolf Cub section of the Coventry Boy Scouts, a special two-acre field was officially opened at Rough Close by Mrs. E. E Williams, founder of the 20th Coventry Cub pack in 1917. Despite being in her 87th year, Ma Williams expressed great honor as she unveiled the field named after her, providing delight to the cubs who now have a dedicated space for their activities. In this photo captured on August 27th, 1966, we witness an extraordinary moment during Lord Mayor Alderman E. M. Rogers' visit to Rough Close Camp.
