Coronavirus Update
Dear all,
As Scouts, wherever we go and whatever we do, we put our member’s safety and wellbeing first.
As you will be aware, the Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, is an evolving situation and a difficult time for all of us and our families.
After listening to our volunteers, the decision has been taken to suspend all weekly section meetings for an indefinite period of time (from today, March 16th)
This includes Monday Beavers, The Group Camp meeting & Explorers which were scheduled for this evening.
We are not, at this stage, cancelling Group Camp. However we will continue to monitor the situation and give you an update as soon as possible.
We will continue to provide updates to parents, supporters & volunteers as the situation develops.
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Brian Martin (Group Scout Leader)
Peter Ritchie (Group Chair)
Andy Loudon (Assistant Group Scout Leader)
James Gallagher (Assistant Group Scout Leader)

Mystery Trip Photos
Our Explorer Unit joined two other local units in February 2016 for a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Their destination was kept a closely-held secret from the announcement about the trip in August 2015 until around 44 Explorers met at Edinburgh airport on the day of departure.
Check out the 28th Giffnock ESU and Warrior ESU Facebook pages for some great photos from this memorable trip!
Where should I stitch new badges on my son or daughter’s shirt?
Glad you asked! Please don’t guess; you may be asked to move badges that are out of position.
Here are the official badge placement diagrams from The Scout Association.

If in doubt, ask your section leader or a Scouter.
