Today, The Scouts celebrates 119 years of teaching young people important life skills and being able to offer them opportunities like no other.

It's our birthday, Scouts! 🎉 🥳 ✨

119 years since the very first experimental Scout camp pitched up on Brownsea Island, Dorset.

We’re so proud of everything our volunteers have done since then to give young people a place to belong. Thank you to you all! 🙌

We heard from 1st Ellon scouts tonight about their plans to reinvigorate the Scouting movement in Ellon.
They’d love to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer as either a Trustee (admin / governance etc) or if you’re handy with the gardening or power tools to help spruce up the building.
