And it's hello from Ewan who will be heading up the Tours team
Author: Gary Bainbridge | Date: 08-05-2013
Hi, I'm Ewan and I'm looking after the Tours part of the Discovery Zone.
I've been involved in Scouting since I was a Beaver and now I'm part of the Scottish Scout Active Support Unit supporting events, activities and our Marquee Hire Service across the country. I've attended camps including Scotscamp, Blair Atholl and Auchengillan Jamboree running and organising activities over the past 12 years.
For Tours, the team and I will be taking a whole sub-camp offsite for the day which is up to 350 people in 5 coaches! The sub-camp will be split into 2 groups with one going to Blair Drummond Safari Park and the other spending some time in Stirling. We'll all be together for lunch at Blair Drummond where you can you can use the facilities including BBQs and picnic areas before swapping over. In Stirling there will be an opportunity to so some shopping or explore the historic town. Entry to Blair Drummond is included but the rest is up to you!
