A huge thank you to Woodside Explorer Scouts for giving up their evening to help make a difference at Fordell Firs!

Your hard work, teamwork and community spirit are brilliant to see, and the garden barrels are looking fantastic! We’re incredibly proud of you all and grateful for everything you’ve done to brighten up the site for everyone who visits.

We were thrilled to welcome the six Scottish units heading to the World Scout Jamboree in Poland next year to Fordell Firs.

Over the training weekend, 216 young people, 24 leaders and team members, and 33 International Service Team (IST) members gathered together for an essential weekend of training, teamwork and getting to know one another.

From teamwork challenges and mental health training to ceilidh dancing, food hygiene and cooking for themselves, there was lots to learn, and plenty of new friendships to make. And, of course, the slip and slide proved to be a firm favourite! Who would have thought that in September, in Scotland, it would be the most enjoyed activity?!

We are so proud of everything you have achieved in your training so far, and we can't wait to see you all represent Scouts Scotland with pride in Poland!

Over 600 Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and volunteers gathered at Fordell Firs, with every region of Scotland represented, to celebrate some very special birthday milestones!

From outdoor challenges and team activities to cooking, science, wellbeing and plenty of birthday fun, it was an unforgettable weekend!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make The Big Birthday Adventure possible – our Event Team, Adult Volunteers and Young Leaders, along with all the Adult Volunteers and Young Leaders who came with their groups, and of course the fantastic team at the centre.

A special thank you also goes to our Scouts Scotland Service Team volunteers, who kept everyone well fed throughout the weekend, and to the Scouts Scotland Pipe Band for a fantastic performance on Saturday! 🎶🥁

And most importantly – Happy Birthday, Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs! 🎉🎂

It was wonderful to give Fife Young Carers the space to enjoy outdoor adventure at Fordell Firs, and we hope it helps ease any anxieties as they head into high school.

It’s been fantastic to see all the smiles, laughter and enthusiasm as they took on the activities and gave everything a go! 🏕️✨
