A new start for our Troop...

I've been working hard to recruit more adult volunteers to work with our Group.

Recently we've appointed a Scout Leader, Louise. Together we've sent an invitation letter to all our ex-Cubs & Scouts who are now between 10.5 and 14... we need to know how many of them are interested in joining our new Troop.

We now have a great team working with our Cubs, and I have several new adult volunteers waiting to get involved with Scouts. So all we need now are some Scouts!

So get in touch by email if you are between 10.5 and 14 years old, and would like to be in a Scout Troop in Summerston. You don't need to have been involved with Scouting before. Here's a taster of what Scouting can be like...

Scout Troop Not Active

Our Scout Troop is not currently active. We have no shortage of young people aged 10.5 - 14 years who would like to be Scouts. However, we do not currently have enough adult leaders to run a Scout Troop programme.

We do have equipment and a Scout hall... so the resources are in place when we gain enough adult support.

If you think you have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to run a Scout Troop, then please contact us by email.

Mountain Biking in Glentress

Last Sunday we went mountain biking in Glentress... it's an amazing place, and the lads had a great time trying out new tricks n skills.

Some of the lads played on the freeride park and skills loop, while some others went off and did the blue route and bits of the red route... that's the second hardest route there! Well done guys... Check out the video of some of the madness!

A great day was had by all... what an exciting and fun way to keep fit and enjoy life outdoors!

We're still looking for someone to be our Scout Leader... if you know of anyone interested, get them to email us, or check out our volunteering to help section for more info.

First Troop Night...

Our first night was a success - all things considered!

It was nice to see many of the lads we'd just lost from Cubs rejoining our Group as Scouts, and it was also nice to welcome a new member to our Troop too.

We played a few new games, and our parent helpers Gary & Gerry ran two "Mission Impossible" challenges... the lads did very well to defuse the bomb, and two of the lads made over 50 seconds on the brick!

The lads heard about our plan to attend Glentress Forest for a day of Mountain Biking on Sunday 8th June, and they were all up for it... more details to follow soon.

Our New Scout Troop!

4th Glasgow is about to reform its' Scout Troop.

Any young people from 10.5 to 14 years old are welcome to attend, whether you've been involved in Scouting before or not!

In particular, we'd like to welcome some of our ex-cubs back to the 4th Glasgow Group, and in addition, we'd like to welcome lads from 86th/191st Glasgow to join as well.

Our first meeting will be held in our Scout Hall on Cumlodden Drive at 8.30pm until 10pm on Friday 23rd May 2008.

Please bring £1.50, your necker (if you've been a Cub or Scout before), and a parent or guardian (because they need to fill in some paperwork!).

If you know of any adults who can help us to run our Scout Troop or Cub Pack, please get them to read the Volunteering to Help section.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Barry, Spud, Dominik, Graham, Gary, Suzanne, Gary and Gerry!
