We are delighted to report the announcement, in the St. Georges Day roll of honour for 2018, that the Chief Scout has recognised the hard work that Moira and Fiona have done for scouting by awarding them the Silver Acorn.
Fun in the snow
Scouts had a great time in the snow during their meeting, making snowmen, a snow-pig (and a few snowballs). This was followed up with a hot drink and some indoor activities to dry off.

Camping Competition 2017

Summer Camp 2017
Summer camp at the Auchengillan jamboree was enjoyed by all the scouts and explorers who attended with some describing it as the best camp ever. It was wet, it was sunny, it was misty so a typical Scottish summer. AJ17 had a very international make-up, with scouting friends from Weurt, near Nijmegen, Netherlands, sharing our camp. Amongst other things the scouts enjoyed an outdoor pool party, a foam party and a paint party. Photos are on our flickr group, with more to follow.
