About Us

The 121st Clarkston Glasgow Scout Group has been in the heart of Clarkston for over 60 years.

 
There are currently about 200 members, both boys and girls, within the group and we offer these members fun, friendship and help them to realise their own potential.  
There are at present three Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs, one Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit that meet in the hall during the week.

The aim of scouting is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
 
The method of achieving the aim is through the provision of exciting and adventurous activities with progressive training based on the scout promise and law guided by adult leadership.
 
Beaver Scouts take part in a balanced programme and work towards challenges and activity badges. There are opportunities to learn about themselves: explore their feelings and develop good habits of health and personal safety.
 
Cub Scouts stake part in a balanced programme and work towards challenges and activity badges. They have opportunities to work together, go camps and learn new skills.
 
Scouts Outdoor activities feature prominently in the scout troop. The highlight for most is the annual summer camp, and much of the rest of the year is devoted to preparing for this through many more weekend camps. Map reading, camp cooking, first aid and other skills can be practised at any time of the year.
 
Explorer Scouts They are encouraged to work with other explorer scouts in the district, not just the unit. This widens the chance to take part in many more activities, not just those their own Unit organises.
