Over the weekend 60 Scouts and Volunteers headed to one our favourite sites, Lochearnhead Scout Station for not just a busy activity camp but also to celebrate 50 months of Scouts camping in tents without missing a single month.
Our activities included Mountain Biking, Archery, Search and Rescue Mission, Challenge Hike, Laser Tag and our most ambitious Blindfolded Trail to date!
Our oldest Scouts had a separate challenge… to see if they could make it through SAS selection! Along the way learning some new skills such as, gutting and cooking a fish, filtering water, knife skills, shelter building, making survival suits and learning lots of other survival skills along the way. We’re proud to say that all recruits made it through selection and also earned their survival skills badge. Well done to yellow section for collecting the most amount of points over the weekend.
Potentially the highlight of the weekend was Saturday nights silent disco where the station’s dining room was transformed.
A huge thank you to Chef Ross for his exceptional catering, Chef Alex for managing the huge food shop, Mr. Bicket for stepping in as a last-minute minibus driver, and South Ayrshire Community Transport for providing three minibuses and an extra driver.
A massive THANKS goes out to all the volunteers who have been part of our camping journey over the last 50 months, impacting hundreds of young people and contributing to thousands of nights away. From showing up at camp to helping pack, drying tents, or managing admin behind the scenes, your dedication makes every adventure possible.
Our camp this weekend at Lochearnhead marks our 50th consecutive monthly zodiac in a row - a camp every single month since COVID restrictions lifted in October 2021.
Behind each and every one of these camps there has been one leader that has been the forefront of planning, organising, and leading. It goes without saying that none of this would have been possible without our Scout Team Leader Steven.
Tonight after dinner on camp, Regional Lead Volunteer John Allison presented Steven with The Commendation Award to honour his incredible dedication to the Troop.
Thank you Steven for all that you do for the 28th.
Reminder that we have two of our hall user groups are hosting events during Wintertainment being held today!
Troon Tabletop will be running a free games session between 1.30pm and 4pm in the lower hall of the front building while Girlguiding Ayrshire South County 1st Troon Brownies and 2nd Troon Guides are joining forces to hold a Christmas Fair in the rear hall in aid of local Guides & Rangers who are heading off to Calgary, Canada for an International Adventure in 2026.
It's sure to be a fun-filled festive afternoon in both halls.
