Methlick Explorers would like to take this opportunity to thank 🙏🙏

🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️the Methlick cycle challenge 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

for donating to the most worthy cause. They have provided :

“3 sets of pads AND a spare battery”

for the Defibrillator we have at the scout hut.

These maintenance items are not cheap, the pads must be replaced each time it is used, and the batteries are expensive. This can save lives !

♥️♥️⛑️⛑️🩹🩹⛑️⛑️♥️♥️

Cooking up a storm at the kitchens this week. Always a firm favourite with our explorers and boy did they surpass themselves this time.

Our youngest explorers won the title with their lentil curry and fruit crumble, but other amazing dishes were steak sliders, haggis bon bons, dirty Mac n Cheese, pancake stacks, fritters and Victoria sponge…

Sad to say our farewell to Euan who has reached the end of his explorer journey, but gaining his level 5 music and 75 nights away before he left… well done Euan 🎤🏕️🎼. 11 years in scouting…
