1st Portlethen Scout Group

Bourtree Beavers had a fun filled sleepover in Bourtree Hall recently. They made catapults and camp blankets for their teddies; played lots of games and sang some songs. They were outside playing and singing before breakfast.
Their leaders think they are all amazing.

Some great teamwork from some of our Bourtree Scouts today. All helping at the Templars' Park Scout Campsite Work Weekend. Clearing up trees and branches from around the site. Lots of Explorers, Network and Leaders onsite too. Slightly delayed start to let the weather get over itself before the sun joined us.

Our troop spend a lot of time at Templars so it was a great opportunity to give back to improve the site not just for ourselves but everyone else that uses it too.

We also checked out the new campfire circle which is looking great, can’t wait to use it in June.

Greens of Portlethen Thanks you so much for the food donation for the camp this weekend and I'm sure the scouts can't wait to tell you all about it.

Bourtree had a collection for the larder on Monday which some Beavers delivered after the meeting. We also used the donations to talk about healthy eating.

Thanks to all our ceilidh guests and helpers, the many raffle donations and especially the Reel Energy band who as always played up a storm and got everyone on the dancefloor! We had a fabulous night, and hope you did too!

Tonight we will mostly be experiencing the joy of the wild haggis!

The Haggis Relay Race

Haggis Jump (bean bags on the end of a rope being spun for which the Cubs jump over!)

Haggis Chuck , first team to get everyone to chuck the haggis to the other half of their team, sits down, and shouts “Haggis!”

(At this point I’d like to thank my wife for a pair of her tights so as to create the mighty ‘Haggi’ , that being the plural of Haggis)
