Welcome to our website, where you will find everything you need to know about the fun and various activities that our boys and girls enjoy throughout their time with the 20th Glasgow (1st Milngavie) Scouts. Our website is regularly updated to keep you and your child informed.

Welcome back to all our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Leaders and parents and particularly to all of those joining the worldwide family of Scouts for the first time. We are all looking forward to another exciting Scouting year ahead of us.

The Milngavie Trail Race is back again in 2018! This a challenging race based around the wild and beautiful trails of the West Highland Way and Mugdock Country Park. The race starts and finishes at the Headquarters of the 20^th Glasgow (1^st Milngavie) Scout Group and takes runners out through some scenic and challenging terrain. 

This year we have added a Junior race for young people between the ages of 13 and 16 which will start and finish at the same place as the main race and take a shorter, but equally challenging route.

Many of our boys and girls, leaders and family joined together on Sunday 13 November for the Milngavie Remembrance Day Parade which took place in the village. The parade, headed by the Milngavie Pipe Band and followed by many other community groups including our Scout members headed from Mugdock Road to the War Memorial in the precinct for an 11am service.  Thanks to everyone who took part and attended this important community event.

Three Scout Leaders from Milngavie, Gordon Hobden, Sandy Bennet and Ian McCreadie, were recognised by East Dunbartonshire recently for their service to the local community. Between them they have amassed a total of almost 100 years of service to the Scout movement of which 60 has been with the 20th Glasgow (1st Milngavie) Scout Group. Local Councillor Jim Gibbons nominated the trio to attend a Tea with the Provost event where they were each awarded a certificate by East Dunbartonshire’s Provost Una Walker.

We had a small but hardworking group of Leaders and parents for this year's Spring Clean Work Party. They spent the day digging out the last dozen or so tree stumps in the grassed area at the back of the hall as well as digging pits for 14 fence posts along the top of the steep banking, the posts were then concreted in place and a top rail fitted. The next stage is to fit a second lower rail and attach around 25 metres of chespale fencing to complete the job. We also took delivery of a large number of concrete slabs courtesy of Ian Whitfield (thanks Ian). These will be used to form some steps at the North side of the site leading down to the lower level. They will also also help us create a level area around the proposed campfire circle.
