Have you ever wondered what boy scouts did c. 1925?

Chanctonbury Ring... possibly taken in the mid to late 1940s or early 1950s.     I wonder what that man is doing in the bottom left corner?   The house in the near distance is Walnut Tree Cottage on The Pike from Washington. 

Again, date unknown.
