Biggar Tinto Scout Group

Monday Night & Tuesday Night Scouts: Thankerton Village Hall 7:30-9:30 p.m.

​

We have two Scout Sections for young people aged between 10½ and 14 years - one meets on a Monday night 7:30-9:30 p.m. and the other on a Tuesday night at the same time.
 

Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative.  It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips. 

Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community-based work to planning games and activities for their meetings. 

​

Our activities are wide and varied, recent examples include canoeing, climbing, swimming, bushcarft and Archery. You will generally find us outside from Spring to Autumn, with inside activities over the winter months such as cooking, model making and nerf wars!

​

We try and run at least three camps per year with one of them being a Summer camp. Previous Summer camps have included international Camps in Holland and England with over 5000 participants from all over the world.

​

Our activities and camps help to ensure the Scouts meet the requirements for the many variety of badges which are available for the Scouts to achieve whilst they are with the troop. We are staged badges for them to progress through such as Nights Away, Hiking and Snow Sports. Activity Badges such as Fire Safety, Athletics and Astronomy. Finally, we have 9 challenge badges which if all are gained gives the Scouts the converted Gold Chief Scout Award.

​

We look forward to welcoming you to our Scout Troop for lots of fun and adventure !
