We’re delighted to announce Alasdair Donohue as our new Scout Section Lead.

Alasdair has been a dedicated member of Scouting for many years, starting as a Cub Leader before joining the JNI Scout Leadership Team. He’s been a fantastic support on Friday nights, at Zodiac camps, and across our weekend activities.

Alasdair is also part of the West Region Leadership Team heading to Peru in 2027, having previously taken part in the Nepal trip in 2023.

Thank you, Alasdair, for stepping into this role, we’re excited for what’s ahead!

Over the last month, we’ve raised an impressive £840 towards the purchase of a RIB in 2026! November kicked things off with a race night with a twist, as our brave volunteer jockeys took on the challenge of racing their horses, cheered on by a packed and enthusiastic hall.

This month, our ever-popular annual Christmas Hamper competition was a great success across the Group, helping us build even more momentum.

The fundraising fun doesn’t stop there, in the New Year we’ll be hosting an afternoon tea and coffee event as we continue our journey towards having a RIB ready for everyone.

With six dedicated adult volunteers undertaking their permit training, we’re excited to be heading towards a future where we’ll all be water-bound in the New Year! 🚤

🌊 Get Ready for the Next Big Adventure with JNI! 🌊
The JNI is setting course for an incredible new challenge! This winter, six of our dedicated adult volunteers will be training to drive a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) — and in the new year, we aim to purchase our very own RIB so that every Section can experience the thrill and adrenaline of speeding along the River Clyde!
But to make this dream a reality, we need your help to raise £10,000. Our main fundraiser is the Race Night on Saturday 15th November — and it’s going to be an evening packed with fun, laughter, and excitement!
🏇 The action kicks off at 6.30pm with 8 thrilling races.
🍻 A licensed bar will keep spirits high.
🥪 A tasty light supper is included.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And yes — kids are not only welcome, they’re encouraged to join the fun!
The races will feature manual horses, with our very own volunteer "jockeys" keeping the competition lively and entertaining.
Come along, cheer, laugh, and help us take this huge leap forward. Together, we can make the RIB dream happen! 🚤✨
To sponsor a race £30
To sponsor a jockey £5
To sponsor a horse £5
Tickets are £4 each.
