Good evening
I bought this silver plated cup by Thomas Wilkinson & Sons today. It was used as a trophy by the 4th Rondebosch Boy Scouts from 1914 to 1921. I can't find much information about them and would like any help.

Hi,
Nothing more than this:
Rondebosch - Initially the only troop in the Rondebosch area was 1st Rondebosch, which was a school troop connected to Diocesan College (Bishops) and was as such only available to boys at Bishops. This was followed by a Rondebosch Boys' High pupil named Russell Moore who decided to start a patrol with his friends and the 2nd Rondebosch was formed in August of 1909 when 26 boys were invested into the troop. There was once a 3rd, 4th and 5th Group, with 6th Rondebosch still active.
