Scouts
17th West Lothian scout troop.
The 17th scouts are part of the 17th (Broxburn) West Lothian scout group who consist of the Beaver scouts (6-8years), the cub scouts (8-10years), scouts(10-14years) and explorer scouts(14-18years).
The group is sponsored by the St John Cantius & St Nicholas R.C. church but we are a ecumenical group and we invite all members of the Broxburn community to join scouting.
We meet at the Canon-Hoban hall beside the church, on Fridays at 7.00pm.
Our aim in scouting is to develop scouts mentally, physically and spiritually to take a constructive place in society and to achieve this we use a progressive training programme full of adventure, community, crafts, beliefs and environmental disciplines.
Camping and outdoors are a big part of our programme and above all we do have fun.
Our past activities have included camps, hikes, football, go-karting, skiing, ten pin bowling and many more!
This summer we had 34 scouts from Denmark in Scotland and had a great time hosting them and in 2 years time we’re off to Denmark on a return trip.
Next year we are planning a trip to the island of Arran for our summer camp and are using this term to prepare for this.
If you want to come along and join in the experience of scouting please do!
