30th Inverleith Davidsons Mains Scout Troop
Scouting has been a part of this community since the 1920's and I am very pleased to report that it is still going strong. We currently have 20 Beavers, 28 Cubs, 30 Scouts and 12 Explorers covering an age range from 6 to 18. Our Explorer unit was just started up a year or so ago and is already proving to be a great success.
As well as the traditional scouting expeditions such as camping and hiking and learning skills which work towards badges, we also try to make our programmes as varied as possible at each different level and try out adventurous things like rock climbing and kayaking and fun nights going swimming and bowling, for example.
It is great to see local children taking part in our group and to watch them progress through the different sections. Recently, a number of our cubs, who had been Beavers, managed to complete their Bronze Chief Scout Awards before moving up to Scouts. This is a great achievement and it is really encouraging that they want to continue. The things that they learn in Scouting and the activities that they take part in will stay with them for years to come and hopefully, they will encourage their children to join. I don't know if I will still be Group Scout Leader then but you never know.
We have a dedicated band of leaders and helpers who give their time freely to ensure that the groups keep running and I am extremely grateful to them for this as it wouldn't be possible without them. However, we are always looking for more help and for ideas for visits or projects so if you would like to be involved or if you are involved in an activity that you think would be of interest to any of the sections, please get in touch.
