Bookings Closed!

Bookings for our Christmas Tree Recycling have now closed for this year. Don’t forget to leave your tree out somewhere visible and accessible. Collections will start from 9am and hopefully we will have all trees collected by mid afternoon.

Our volunteers are busy planning the collection route and will be out with the young people collecting trees in the morning. Be sure to give us a wave if you see us!

Thank you to everyone who has booked a collection and made a donation. Every donation makes a difference and goes towards providing life changing scouting experiences to young people in Bishopton.

We are claiming Gift Aid on your donation using the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS). You don’t need to fill out a Gift Aid declaration for us to claim this, but the scheme enables us to claim back an additional 25% from HMRC.

Look at where your donations go!

This summer, young people from Bishopton took part in our 100 year anniversary camp, alongside scouts from Austria and other groups across Scotland.

Your donations support young people from Bishopton to attend events like this as well as take part in many other camps and overnight experiences as well as exciting and adventurous activities.
