Friday Scout Programme – 2026
Meeting times are 7.30-9pm in the Scout Hall and 7-8.30pm in Bonaly School except when noted otherwise below.
Please note Scouts don’t need phones at Scouts and we don’t wish to see any phones in use while at Scouts.
For Bonaly School, please use the door into the main hall from Bonaly Grove.
Absence
The leaders have been reviewing the way we report attendance and found the group WhatsApp to be inefficient and not a secure way to track scout attendance.
In future please could you therefore email 108scout@gmail.com to report an absence quoting:
– full scout name
– reason for absence
– scout group (A or B)
If you don’t email us we’ll simply mark your scout as absent with no reason and may give your spot to another scout in the waiting list if absence persists.
Uniform
Please wear scout uniform (shirt and necker) unless told otherwise and bring a full water bottle. When full uniform is not required, please wear your necker.
Summer term 2026
26th June – As & Bs Together – Beach Barbecue
The End of Year Beach barbecue and games will take place at Yellowcraig Beach. We aim to start at 1900h and finish at about 2100h.
There will be beach games and a barbecue. Please bring your own buckets and spades for the very exciting sand castle competition.
There will be no charge for fun or food, but we would be delighted if you could donate to our chosen charity this year which is Edinburgh Children’s Hospital. We suggest a donation of £5 per person per hot food item.
We invite your family to come and join in the fun; parents, siblings and dogs are all welcome. Look out for a poll on the Friday Scouts WhatsApp where I will be asking for estimated numbers for catering purposes.
Please make your own way to Yellowcraig and lift share if at all possible.
Yellowcraig Car park is at 56.0601699113309, -2.779068519650596 (GPS coords which you can plug into your sat nav.) National Grid Reference is NT 515 855. Google maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/ubQjaxgDMBV8jvru8.
The leaders look forward to seeing you all there.
