1st Falkirk Scouts

Our Tuesday Night Scout Troop had a brilliant time during their 5 day Summer Camp! They had lots of new experiences and tried some new adventurous activities. They also cooked their own meals and had a go at lighting their own fires!! ⚜️ 🔥

What a busy day our cubs have had at camp! Out on the reservoir in the morning, building shelters and camp gadgets in the afternoon. Finished up with a campfire, marshmallows and some hot chocolate before bed.

Our Beavers and Cubs had a brilliant afternoon at the Larbert Pantomime. Lots of fun had all round. The cubs are back at the Scout Hall now for a sleepover this evening! A very early festive weekend! 🎅🎄

We are very proud of the Cubs and Scouts who joined the Remembrance Parade today in Falkirk town centre. They did a brilliant job representing our group and the district whilst showing their respect. ⚜️

Thank you to everyone who attended and who contributed to our AGM last night. In particular, the enthusiasm and energy from all the scouts and explorers was infectious. Along with the usual business, thanks and reports from the section leaders there was an Investiture and feedback from scouts on their activities over the last year. Further presentations ranged from the experience of taking part in an Explorer Belt expedition to The Netherlands, to the Jamborette in Haarlem, near Amsterdam and to attending the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea with 46,000 other scouts. These young people have been moving through our sections for many years and are an inspiration to those young people following them.
Seeing their development and confidence reaffirms that the many hours contributed by all our volunteer leaders and the many helpers along the way, is so worth it. 👏👏👏

Tonight is our Group AGM. All parents, helpers and leaders should have had an invite. Some of our fabulous young people are doing inputs about their scouting adventures over the year, including international experiences.
See you at 7pm at the hall. Remember parking is very limited. Please be considerate to our neighbours.

Remember the group AGM is tomorrow night at 7pm in the hall.

After our many years of fundraising events, our bathroom conversion project is under way. Thanks to all who contributed. The contractors are hoping to complete in 3-4 weeks.

What a fantastic Tribute Night fundraiser for us last night at The Three Kings, Shieldhill. We were joined by many parents, family, friends, leaders and previous scouts to enjoy an evening of fun, laughter and plenty of dancing.
Thank you all who attended for creating a joyous atmosphere and for your generous contributions. Thanks to all the staff involved at The Three Kings Wedding Venue for great food and service
Thanks also to the many businesses, parents and friends of 1st Falkirk Scouts for their generous donations.
The event raised a magnificent sum of £2,600 for the group funds.

Thanks to the Organisers of the District Spring Fling for a brilliant day on Saturday and what a brilliant weekend for a camp! ⛺️ Couldn't have asked for better weather. We are really proud of the cubs, especially after seeing them leading a campfire song so well for all the other Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs from the District! Looking forward to our next camp already.

7 years ago our fundraiser was a race night in the rugby club. We have had various events through the years.
Next Friday we have a Tribute Night. We have sold over 120 tickets but there are still a few tickets remaining. The raffle prizes are coming in but we can always accept more. If you are interested in tickets or raffle, please get in touch.

Three Kings Fundraising Evening

We're hosting a fabulous fundraising night up at the 3 Kings on Friday 28 April 2023 to raise some much needed funds. The funds raised will support our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts directly and will allow us to continue to provide amazing opportunities through scouting to local young people.

Since we like to put fun, into fundraising we've gone for a fabulous night up at the 3 kings - bringing a party to a party. These nights are always a hoot!

If you'd like to book a table (8-10) people please let us know. Grab your pals, your dancing shoes and be ready to have a fantastic time. Guaranteed!

And great value too - dinner (2 courses), cabaret and disco all for £15/head!! Please see the details in the poster below.

We have had another fantastic response to our Quiz & Curry Night and we only have a couple of tables remaining. ✏️ To get your table before they sell out, please scan the QR code below! ❓💡

QUIZ & CURRY IS BACK!!
We are hosting our famous Quiz & Curry night on Friday the 28th of October 2022. After plenty of lockdown quiz practice, why not put together a team and see if you can be our 2022 quiz champions.

This year we are supporting our Scouts and Volunteers who are attending the World Scout Jamboree in Korea 2023. These Scouts and Volunteers are a part of unit 5 the “Kilted Kelpies” and the International Support Team. Part of their journey to Korea is to raise money towards their trip, that in turn contributes to the UK contingent and enables scouts from more deprived countries to attend.

If you would like a fun filled night then please book your tickets through the following link or scan the QR code on the poster below!

Our cubs had an excellent weekend at The Craigs campsite in West Lothian. Huge well done to all the cubs especially those staying away from home for the first time. Hopefully they all got some sleep when they got home last night after a very busy weekend.
Special thanks to the West Lothian Blair Atholl Selection camp group that were on site for their incredible campfire on Saturday evening!

Fantastic that we have 3 scouts, a young leader and adult leader attending... great achievement to be selected.
