9 of our explorers attended Cally Rally up on the Miy Estate at the weekend. Battling the cold, the rain and...the Megabus to Inverness. The ceilidh rave on the Saturday night certainly was a big hit along with the variety of activities being run.

Water you waiting for?!

🙌 3rd EK Scout Group needs YOU!

With Scouting happening every night, Monday to Friday, from Squirrels to Explorers, we need more adult volunteers to help keep the adventures going! 🏕️

Whether you can help weekly, occasionally, or behind the scenes, there’s a role for you!

💙 No experience needed, just a little time and a willingness to make a difference.

📣 Like, share or tag someone who could be our next volunteer!
Every share helps us reach more people.

Water you waiting for? Get in touch today!

Confirmed funeral arrangement for Douglas Johnston.

Douglas’ funeral will take place on Thursday 17th September at Calderglen Parish Church at 2pm. Thereafter to Philipshill Cemetery at 3pm.
His family have asked that anyone involved in scouting who is attending wear uniform if possible as scouting was such a big part of Douglas’ life.

A sad announcement from our Scout family 💚

It is with great sadness that we announce that Douglas Johnston passed away on Sunday evening.

Douglas was part of our Monday Beaver team and a Trustee of our scout group. He has held a variety of roles across the district including supporting adult training.

Douglas gave over 60 years of his time, energy and commitment to Scouting and to the young people in our community. His contribution will be remembered with great appreciation, and he will be greatly missed by Scouts, volunteers and families alike.

Our thoughts are with Douglas’ family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Thank you for everything. ⚜️

Big thank you to Mark at Alba Welding for helping us out with a repair to the cutting deck of our lawn mower. Mark was a scout and Explorer scout and kindly offered to weld a damaged area free of charge for us.
We can get back on top of the grass at the scout hall thank you 🙏.
