1st Rhu Scout Group is part of Dunbartonshire District. There are 11 groups within the District. We have a long scouting history founded in 1930. Each week we offer oportionitues for young people aged between 4 - 18 giving them skills that they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the trick challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life. Here at Rhu we have 5 sections, Squirrels aged 4-6, Beavers aged 6-8, Cubs aged 8 - 10½, Scouts 10½ - 14 and Explorers aaged 14 - 18.
Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your child’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.
We’re part of a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures.
Volunteers
There are lots of ways you can get involved, from helping out occasionally on a parent rota or volunteering your time as a leader to supporting local Scouting. Our volunteering opportunities are as varied as you! Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity in the local village hall, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread for a group of very hungry eleven year olds - no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.
Our award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
