Cubs from the 121st Glasgow have been working with the Rangers at Whitelee Wind Farm since January.
The Rangers visited the Cubs weekly meetings and helped them to learn 6 digit reference numbers, contours and fire lighting!
The Map Reading and Navigator's badges were finished with very wet and windy hike at the wind farm in April!

Can you help Alzheimer Scotland to Stitch the Pitch?
Author: Gary Bainbridge | Date: 04-05-2013
Alzheimer Scotland are attempting to complete a challenge and cover the Scottish National Football pitch at Hampden with 5000 metres of quilts made by quilters from around the world. They have asked if Scouting can assist them in helping to cover the pitch on Saturday 8th June 2013. Teams of Explorer Scouts, Scout Network members and adult volunteers would be needed to help them in laying and removing the quilts from the pitch and other practical tasks.
Assistance will be needed from 9.30am-4.30pm however this time can be split into shifts throughout the day.
This is an ideal opportunity to support a worthy Scottish charity and raise the profile of Scouting in the community. Please contact Karen Imrie at blairatholl@clydescouts.org.uk if you can help or for further information.
