Beaver Scouting has a motto of “fun and friends” and that is just what the section strives to achieve. There are craft activities, games and other basic scouting activities to keep them all busy

Because the section is so popular it is sometimes necessary to operate a waiting list, so “don’t delay ask a leader today !!” about joining. The section provides and introduction to scouting for those aged 6 until 8, and meets on a Monday evening in the scout hall. Go to beaver page

Additionally the Beaver Section will undertake a number of programmed activities at group, area or district level, these include BEAVER DAY, district football, sleepovers and fun days, see the Beaver diary page for more detail.

Want to know more, send us an e-mail or pop down and see us on a Monday or a Friday.

Explorer Scouting is a district section. The recent review of Scouting meant that Venture Scouting was replaced with Explorer Scouting run by a District team for young people aged 14 - 18.

A district unit is based within Trinity St Paul’s building of Cambuslang Parish Church, made up mainly of former 138th Scouts. The unit operates in partnership with the group, attending all group camps and events. Go to Explorer Page

The cub section meets on Friday evenings between 6.15 pm and 8 pm. The section develops those aged between 8 and 10 by exposing them to more activity and group work. Cubs will undertake many joint activities with the Scout section to include the annual group camp and 24 hour games “night”

The cubs will undertake camping, canoeing, walking, pioneering, cooking, crafts and many other activities designed to make them learn more about their environment and to interact as a team. Go to cub page

Network is for those young people aged 18 - 25 who want to remain involved in scouting. The unit operates in a less formal manner than other sections and network members often undertake a leadership role within the scout group.

The unit members undertake a range of activities to include climbing, hiking and comedy night visits etc. - Go to Network Page

The senior section in the group, the section aims to provide young people aged 10 ½ - 14 with a wide range of challenging activities that will develop them into an independent and resourceful young person capable of meeting the challenges of the modern world.

Regular activities include hill walking, canoeing, fencing, archery, camping, pioneering, swimming, climbing not to mention the games and challenges that surround a Friday night in the hall.

Running a group of over 100 members takes a strong leadership team. As the saying goes “many hands make light work” and we always need help.

If you have some time and want to help the youth of your community, if you have been a scout or have yet to experience scouting, we have a space for you. Go to Leader Page
