Meeting weekly on a Friday evening during school term at St Columba's Church, Braehead Way, Bridge of Don Aberdeen AB22 8RR. We are a uniformed co-ed youth organisation focused on promoting a positive disciplined outdoor life and developing each and every member of our organisation regardless of their ability to achieve all they can and to enjoy their time with us, showing improved communication skills, teamwork, physical fitness, new skills being achieved, self-development and confidence as a young person. Children and young people have the choice to participate in activities and have a voice in the type of activities that are led to ensure maximum engagement. We deliver Duke of Edinburgh awards, and John Muir awards and spend time in the Cairngorms National Park on frequent trips and the outdoors in the Bridge of Don area of Aberdeen. We meet weekly and in addition undertake weekend residential camps, promoting nature conservation and STEM programmes. We are an entirely self-funded charity, and our outdoor trips require specialise equipment and the use of our own minibus. We work to reduce barriers to participation such as socioeconomic status. We aim to benefit the youth within our organisation, the youth in our community and all within our local catchment area who see how important the work we do is.
