70 Beavers from Field Maple, Elm, Chestnut and Acorn colonies visited Blair Drummond Safari Park on the 19th June 2010 for a day trip. This was possible due to a grant from The Allander Trust which covered the cost of the buses and adult helpers.
On arrival at the park, the Beavers took part in a safari drive and split into groups for a brief tour of the park before lunch. After lunch, the boys had more time to explore the safari park and saw animals such as meerkats, tigers and penguins. Later on in the afternoon, the 70 boys as a group attended the bird of prey flying demonstration on the loch.
The boys arrived back in Bearsden at 4.30pm after a fun but tiring day out, with many sleeping on the buses back home!
Thanks to all the parent helpers for their help on the day.
A photo of the day appeared in the Milngavie and Bearsden Herald on Friday 30th July. |

The 24th Glasgow is one of the largest Groups in the UK. It is situated in Bearsden, a large suburban area on the outskirts of Glasgow. Bearsden is a community rich in young families and the 24th is one of three thriving Scout Groups in the area. The 24th is also one of the oldest Scout Groups in existence and in this year of the Centenary of Scouting, celebrated its own Centenary in 2008 holding various celebratory events. To commemorate our centenary, we held a badge competition to design a badge for members of the Group to display on their uniforms during the Centenary Year. We also redesigned our “Group Neckie” adding an additional border of Scouting Green to the traditional 24th brown Neckie with a gold border. All members of the Group were presented with a new “double border” Neckie to mark the occasion of our Centenary and the celebration of 100 years of continuous Scouting provision by the 24th. |

We in the 24th have 30 Sectional Leaders regularly involved in running Beaver Cubs and Scouts and a further 12 Leaders who are available on an ad hoc basis to help out at camps or other activities. Some Group Assistants are unable to attend each week and work on a “rota basis” .This year although we have recruited 8 Leaders, we would welcome more adults who would like to be involved as Leaders. We can accommodate anyone in the Group regardless of the amount of time they can commit |

The Executive Committee, which includes parents of members past and present and is headed by a Chairman, supports the work of the 24th. Other Office Bearers are the Treasurer and the Secretary. The Group Scout Leader represents the uniformed Leaders. We also have a Property sub Committee who lends their expertise to the ongoing fundraising for a new Hall. |
