Kensington Boy Scout Troop 140 (1951-1968)

Ok, thanks to Will Roll we have more pictures of Kensington history
dating back to 1951. This was a boy scout troop that used to be
on Beverly Road somewhere near East 8th street. I think the small
church is actually still there where they were based.

Will, feel free to describe in the comments section anything you
would like to about these photo's.

Thanks again and I'll post the rest soon!

This was a parade that I remember attending years latter, It was officially the Brooklyn sunday school day parade( this one was in the mid 50's) it was a joining of all the Protestant churches along Ocean Pkwy, and believe me I called my 83 year old mother to check my facts. Im still waiting to see if I can i.d. the last pics faces. Will
