Parent and Cub Camp 2008 - Over 60 parents and Cubs attended the National Parent and Cub Camp at Meggernie last month.

The weekend was based around a Scottish Clan theme which suited the site's setting in Scotland's longest, loveliest and loneliest glen. The parents and Cubs from all over Scotland camped under canvas for the weekend and took part in a range of Scouting activities together including archery, rock climbing, fire lighting, backwoods cooking, orienteering, pond dipping, fly casting, crafts, pioneering and grass sledging.

The Cubs also helped in the training of a mountain rescue dog by acting as stranded hillwalkers. After dressing suitably for a fabulous banquet on the Saturday evening the night ended with an enjoyable camp fire in the warm and still evening air, disturbed only by the enthusiastic singing! The clan theme continued the following day with the clans competing in Highland Games where the main prize was trying to stay dry! It was a fabulous weekend at a wonderful, historic site blessed with great weather which all the Cubs and their parents enjoyed together.

Traversing Wall - The indoor Traversing Wall is now in use and proving popular. Scouts are taking up the challenge to see how far they can get before touching the ground.

TyroLyon – Wow!! It’s here. This winter saw the installation of Meggernie’s own tyrolean crossing. Strength and bravery are required to cross the river Lyon. All that’s left to do then is sit back and enjoy the speedy ride back.
