Baden-Powell, Chief Scout of the World, visited Aden in November 1934. Troops were based on schools and at the time of his visit there were only five Troops, with strengths as follows:
Keith Falconer Mission School 25
Mariat Brothers School 15
King George V Jewish School 30
Sir H C Dinshaw School (for Gujeratis) 18
Government Anglo-Vernacular School 24
The scout troop's quarters were a disused sergeant's mess and the former barrack square. Although the Arabs and Jews would not serve in the same patrols together they interacted quite well at camp-fire singalongs. The Jewish scouts were well-dressed in their smart uniforms and equipped with every possible accessory due to a local merchant benefactor. The other scouts were, unfortunately, less well-equipped.
