Can you help us piece together the history of Scouting in Milngavie? 

Are you a former 20th Scout or Leader or know someone who was involved with Scouting in Milngavie, then we would like to hear from you. We are collecting stories, photographs and artefacts and need your help. 

If you think you might have something to contribute or a story to tell or would just like to keep in contact with the Scout Group, then please get in touch. 

The 20th Glasgow was first registered as a Wolf Cub Pack in November 1931 and initially met in Milngavie Public School, then in local churches until moving to our first Scout Hall which was built off Claremont Gardens in 1949. 

As the Scout Group continued to grow larger premises were required and our current Scout Hall was built and opened in 1973. This is our own hall and is located on Main Street, Milngavie on the edge of Lennox Park. It has two halls on different levels and around an acre of ground behind the hall for outdoor activities. 

We currently have almost 200 boys and girls and adult Leaders involved in our two Beaver Colonies (aged 6-8), two Cub Packs (aged 8-10.5), two Scout Troops (aged 10.5-14) and one Explorer Unit (aged 14-17). 

The Scout Group is run entirely by volunteers and has provided camping, adventure and many other activities for local boys and girls over the last 90 years. 

If you have something to contribute to the Group history please email milngaviescouts@hotmail.com or you can phone Sandy Bennet, Group Scout Leader on 07954727741

Our Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer sections are currently preparing to return to some normality from September.   Some minor restrictions still remain due to the current Covid 19 emergency.

The Winter Camp at Lochgoilhead for Cubs and Scouts will be rearranged for a future date.

The Trail Race will also be rearranged.

The Scout Association annual census takes place in January/February. Each scout section needs to ensure that the children involved's details on the Scout database are up to date. Please make sure you update any data with your child's scout leader.

There will be an intake of new Beavers starting in January as well as several Cubs, Scouts and Explorers joining the Group as new members. Parents of new members should receive a copy of the subscription letter  which explains the reduced fees and how to pay.
