Edinburgh Marathon Race Crew

Here are our hard-working volunteers taking a short photo break during the Edinburgh Marathon. A squad of Scouts, mums, leaders, young leaders and friends accepted the challenge to unload and distribute two articulated lorries full of runners’ bags. It was a tough but enjoyable day.  Well done to our race crew team.

Auchengillan Camp – Singing in the rain

IMG_4284

The forecast promised an interesting weekend under canvas and so it proved to be with more than our fair share of rain and wind. Despite the elements doing their best to dampen spirits, the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts rallied at the Saturday evening camp-fire with our usual range of songs and marshmallow treats. The Scouts were able to practice kayaking, ahead of our summer camp to France.

Chiller Camp for Cubs

Well done to the ten Cubs who survived this weekends camp at Bonaly. It was a joint camp with the 1st and 3rd ENE allowing some Cubs and leaders to experience a nights away experience for the first time. There were 35 Cubs in total who can be very proud of their conduct during the weekend. Walls were climbed, arrows were loosed, songs were sung and hills were hiked. Despite the fascinating dead sheep, bitter cold and 148 Brass Monkey Scouts a great time was had by all. Roll on Group camp in May……
