Congratulations to all our 300 Club Members during the past year. With your support we've paid out over £500 in winnings and reinvested the same amount into the experiences and opportunities for our young people.
Draws are made each quarter and the more people who join, the more we are able to pay out, don't miss out on the next draw at the start of October to join click here:
Over the weekend, all our sections attended what we believe to be the very first Kyle and Carrick District Camp!
It was a very busy weekend with 18 different activities for Cubs and Scouts, and a separate set of activities for the Beavers who visited for the day.
It all started with two huge coaches at the scout hall on Friday afternoon and some hectic bag loading in many different directions (though there was a plan behind it all!).
Once on-site, the field was quickly taken over by tents, followed by an evening of glow games and activities. After all that, we were more than ready for supper.
We woke to some very wet and windy weather on Saturday morning, however, a big breakfast kept everyone in high spirits. All the groups came together for flag break, and then the activities began. Unfortunately, due to the high winds, all the water activities had to be cancelled; however, there were still plenty of things to keep us entertained.
After a mighty dinner, prepared from scratch on-site by our wonderful catering team, we joined the rest of the groups for a big campfire. Well done to many of our young people who led a number of the songs! While the campfire was taking place, a group of volunteers took a couple of trailers back to the scout hall, loaded with the day's activity equipment. After the campfire, we headed back to the dining tent for hot chocolate and some of the large quantities of home baking kindly donated by our parents. Before bed we moved indoors for a movie, the Patrol Leaders enjoyed a round of bucket golf in the dark—an activity that proved very popular throughout the day.
On Sunday, we woke up, had breakfast, and began clearing our site. It was all very hectic to begin with, but with everyone getting involved, we managed to get everything packed into the trailers just in time for flag break and the closing of camp.
A huge thank you to our volunteers who spent Sunday afternoon and evening drying out tents. The tent drying continues all through the week!
It's only 4 days to go until our Kandersteg 2027 Fundraiser Race Night and we have a limited number of horses looking to secure their owner and some tickets for attending the night.
This is a family friendly race night, open to everyone. Doors open at 6:00 PM, and the first race sets off at 7:00 PM.
