The 28th Cubs have had a fantastic spring term packed with adventure and learning. Both sections enjoyed an exciting outdoor programme, including trips to the beach, Fullarton Woods, the rock pools with Coastal Marvels Explorers, and even the skate park.
We were also lucky to welcome some brilliant visitors. Police Scotland’s Public Order team delivered an engaging session with our Thursday Cubs, while the RNLI hosted our Tuesday group for an unforgettable experience.
We wrapped up the term by celebrating everyone’s achievements at our Sausage Sizzles, a great way to recognise all the hard work and fun had along the way.
365 days to go until we return to KISC 🇨🇭 in 2027.
After an unforgettable visit in 2024, we are counting down the days until our next adventure at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre. With over 15,000 guests from 62 countries in 2025 alone, KISC continues to be one of the most vibrant and inspiring Scout destinations in the world.
From alpine hikes to international friendships, this trip is something our Scouts will remember for a lifetime.
A relaxed final day at Bonaly. Breakfast was the last meal that the Scouts would be using their patrol boxes, after breakfast the patrols made a start at resetting their boxes. Everything has to be shining for the final inspection and boxes ready for the next camp.
To break up the day of cleaning and packing we had a few hours of drop in activity bases, Scouts could choose which bases they wanted to go to.
After lunch it was back to clearing patrol sites so that only the sleeping tents were left standing. It was amazing how quickly the site changed, all the hours of work put into making gateways and camp gadgets undone in an hour 😢
However after a short stint of hard graft it was back on to the fun stuff. The slippy slide was brought out and it was our best yet, making good use of the grass sledging slope at Bonaly.
The final dinner at summer camp is usually prepared and cooked by the leaders (Alex) and we look back on our time at camp and everything we have crammed into the week. We also thank everyone that helped make the camp possible and recognise achievements by handing out all the badges earned during the week (over 250 badges!). However the main thing that everyone is waiting for is to find out which patrol has won. This year’s Summer Camp patrol winner was Orange led by Dexter, racking up 93 points during the week. ...

We spent most of the day off site at Edinburgh Zoo🦒
The Patrol Leaders asked just a couple of times to go shopping in Edinburgh, so on the way back to Bonaly the Patrol Leaders and Assistants made a quick stop at the Gyle Shopping Centre. Some of the leaders got very excited by the largest M&S they had ever seen!
Back on site, dinner was cooked. The Scouts moving on to Explorers next term were invited to the Explorer site for a formal dinner.
The evening was spent at the campfire, thanks to Explorer, Darcy for leading the campfire and well done to all the young people that stood up and led different parts of the campfire. ... See MoreSee Less
Biggest activity day of the week with GoApe in the afternoon and Paddlesports in the evening.
The morning started with inspection as usual. Patrols then received the Fire and Ice challenge rewards.
Then we loaded up the buses and headed for GoApe at Delkeith. Once we were all down out the trees we did a hike around the estate.
Then we were on the road again to Queensferry to do some paddle sports. By the time the paddle sports had finished at 8.30, everyone was more than ready for dinner! ... See MoreSee Less
