As Volunteer Week draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to shine a light on the incredible team at 3rd East Kilbride. 🌟💙❤️

Without the dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment of each and every one of our volunteers, our young people would not have access to the fantastic opportunities, experiences, and adventures they enjoy today. 🏕️🎯🤝

Thank you for everything you do. Your time, support, and passion make a real difference, and we are truly grateful for all that you give to our group and community. 🙌👏💛

Big Birthday Bash 🎉

And just like that, our celebratory camp has come to an end, and what an absolute joy it has been! 🥳

With over 120 young people getting the chance to experience a camp filled with adventure, friendships, new opportunities, and skills for life, it truly reminds us volunteers of what scouting is all about. The young people of our group are an absolute credit to us, and for that, we thank them hugely for giving everything they've got! 🙌 We are SO proud! 🏅

Events like this don’t just happen overnight. It takes months of planning 📅, preparing, making lists, buying resources, sorting out logistics... the list goes on! From our catering team 🍽️ who have fed us all weekend, to our section leaders, who have worked tirelessly to guide, mentor, and inspire our young people, making sure everything runs smoothly and everyone has the best time possible. And of course, our parent helpers 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 who made everything that little bit easier. This entire weekend has been made possible by being surrounded by the most fantastic team of volunteers who put our young people at the heart of everything we do. 💖

Here's to 70 years of 3rd East Kilbride 🎉, and to the many more years to come!

Big Birthday Bash 🎉

Day One – Completed it! ✅

With 125 young people on site, our day has been jam-packed with a wide range of activities! There was something for everyone, and to top it off, we had the most amazing weather ☀️!

From archery 🏹 to scavenger hunts 🕵️, water sports 🌊 to escape rooms 🔐, our young people have thrown themselves into absolutely everything on offer today! 💪

The night ended with some epic Big Bash Party Games 🎉, and of course, the classic, fun-filled 3rd East Kilbride Campfire 🔥.

Now, it's bedtime for all, and everyone is ready to do it all over again tomorrow! 😴

🎉 Congratulations! 🎉

As we celebrate 70 years of our group, we’d love to take this moment to congratulate one of our own— Douglas Johnston, who was recently awarded his 60 years of Scouting service after a visit from Craig, our District Lead Volunteer! 🏅👏

Starting his Scouting journey in Angus, Douglas has taken on a variety of roles over the years at group, district, and regional levels. He is now a valued member of our Beaver Scout Team 👌🏻

A huge milestone for anyone in Scouting! 🙌 A massive thank you and congratulations from all of us here at 3rd East Kilbride! 🎉🎊

Looking forward to our group camp this weekend. We’ll be welcoming our Cubs, Scouts and Explorers to Lapwing Lodge tonight with our Squirrels and Beavers joining us tomorrow.

Looks like it’s going to be sunny ☀️ so can parents please ensure their young people have a water bottle, sun cream and maybe a sun hat with them please?

Thank you to all those who came to our Ceilidh last night and we hope you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. The dancing was on top form as always, hopefully you're not as dizzy now from all the spinning.

We raised £840 for the group. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and go a long way allowing the group to continue to deliver programmes across all our sections.

As always, a big shout out to our volunteers who made the night possible and a further thank you to those who were unable to attend but kindly donated prizes for the raffle.

Tonight we attended Clyde Region’s annual awards ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Huge congratulations to Erin, Ian, Leo, Aidan and Jay on achieving their Chief Scout Platinum Award and to Anna, Lucy, Mikey and Finn for achieving their Chief Scout Gold.

These awards recognize personal growth, adventure, and resilience achieved by completing all section challenge awards and specific activity badges. They represent a significant milestone in a young person’s Scouting journey.

Well done for all your hard work and thank you to all the leaders for providing opportunities and supporting them throughout.
