The Group
We have a thriving membership of over 110 including Explorers. Our Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer sections offer the experience of Scouting to girls and boys from ages 6 to 18. Adults can join the adventurte too- if you're 18 to 25 you can be part of the Network, and parents are welcome to help with the sections on a part- or full-time basis. There are also opportunities to assist in the running of the group on the Fundraising or Executive committeees. If you'd like to help in any way, please click on the Contact Us button on the left and we'll be in touch soon.
The group has been in existence for over 70 years and is based at Port Edgar marina in South Queensferry. The Nelson Hall was purpose built in 2004, with excellent facilities and easy access - large hall, and meeting room, fully equipped kitchen. Outside space includes a large grassed area and wildlife garden overlooking the shore with great views across the Forth. The hall is available for hire at reasonable rates. Check the Hall Hire link for details.

Scouting Today
The Scout Association offers everyday adventure and activity to almost 400,000 young people across the UK. The Movement is the largest co-educational youth organisation in the world, with over 28 million members in 216 countries and territories.
Our clear purpose is to help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
About Our Work
Even if we can't solve all the problems in the world, we can help to make it a better place. Scouting makes a positive contribution to society by helping young people to develop as active members of the community:
- who are self reliant
- who are caring
- who are responsible
- who show commitment
Scouting works well when young people enjoy learning by working in partnership with adults. They do this by:
- taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences
- exploring the outdoors
- participating in teams
- taking responsibility
Our method for giving young people the opportunity to learn by doing is called the Programme. The Programme is a continuous progression of training, activities and awards that covers everything that young people do in Scouting from the age of 6 to 25.
