During lockdown we continued to function with outdoor meetings. We adapted our programme to undertake four related ‘Eco Projects’.

  1. We established a community garden in Summerston, built planters and a raised bed and grew 16 kinds of vegetable, which were shared by the Cubs and Scouts
  2. We planted 3kg of wildflower seeds along the verges of the River Kelvin walkway to encourage a growth in the number of bees
  3. We provided all the Cubs and Scouts with litter pickers and undertook a family litter pick as part of ‘Keep Scotland Beautiful to clear litter from the River Kelvin walkway and Maryhill Park
  4. We collected plastic bottle tops and used these to create visual arts displays to highlight the problems caused to our environment by plastic pollution.

Our ‘Eco Projects’ were recognised by Blue Peter and our Cubs and Scouts were declared ‘Climate Heroes’. All our Cubs and Scouts were awarded individual Blue Peter ‘Green Badges’

Scouting in Summerston and Lambhill

Welcome to our website – this is the place to find information about Scouting in Summerston and Lambhill.

The 4th Glasgow Scout Group was formed in 1908, making it one of the oldest Scout Groups in the world.

We continued to operate throughout the pandemic, often under trying circumstances. A new session starts in September 2021, which we hope will enable us to return to normality.

We currently cater for boys and girls aged 6-18y through our Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer sections. Details are available elsewhere on the site.

Our News section contains regular posts of our activities.

The Group Scout Leader (GSL) is Graham Beastall and all enquiries regarding joining as a young person or as an adult volunteer should be directed to Graham via the ‘Contact Us’ button.
