58th Aberdeen (Culter) Scout Group

Annual BBQ

THE Scout Group in Culter continues to flourish. We recentlv held our annual family BBQ at Templars which was enjoyed by Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers together with their families and representatives from Aberdeen Area. At the BBQ, Cubs and Scouts ran a marathon together to raise money for the Children with Leukaemia charity.

The Scouts are looking forward to their summer camp, which this year is at Sluggan Bridge near Carrbridge. This is a 'green field' camp where we get back to basics and learn camping craft, cooking over open fires, etc. We will also spend a number of days off site in the area with activities such as wind surfing, mountain biking and hill walking.

The Explorers are very active and a number recently took to the hills to prepare for their silver and bronze Duke of Edinburgh's awards. Their summer camp this year is at Hawkhirst in Northumberland.

We still need a further Cub leader to join an active team of leaders in this section, to help plan and supervise activities. Similarly, we need another Beaver leader to support our existing leaders. Oh, and we also are on the look out for a new Treasurer to pick up from Margaret who is stepping down after many years. All these positions require only limited time commitment and are truly satisfying!
