91st GLASGOW (NETHERLEE) SCOUT GROUP

Scouting is a non-denominational group that aims to promote the full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual development of boys from aged 6 to 18 years. We also try to develop each boy as a member of his local, national and international community.

Our Scout group was founded in 1931, moving to our present Scout Hall in Ormonde Drive in 1953. We have provided a strong base for Scouting within the district ever since. We are delighted to welcome members at any time, and offer the following groups:

• Beavers (boys aged 6 -8) meet from 7pm to 8pm each Friday during school term . Most activity is centred round games and basic hand crafts. We also start to introduce some of the core Scouting themes.

• Cubs (boys aged 8 - 10) meet from 7.15pm to 8.45pm each Tuesday during school term . At Cubs, the boys start to gain a wider experience of Scout activity covering exploring, getting to know their local environment, helping around the house, knotting, camping and well as sport, games and more craft activities.

• Scouts (boys aged 10 - 14) meet from 7.30pm to 9.15pm each Wednesday during school term . In Scouts, the boys have the opportunity to go camping, hill walking and orienteering as well as learning skills such as First Aid and knotting . Much of the emphasis is based on personal and team development, with the older boys taking responsibility for organising many activities. The highlight of the Scout Year is Summer Camp.

• Explorer Scouts (young men aged 14 – 18) meet as part of the Scout group, but are more involved in planning and running the activities to develop leader skills.
