The young people who attend the groups live in Moffat. Beattock and the surroundin8 district. Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development. empowering thern to make a positive contribution to society. The main activities are playing games, working towards merit badges, and learnlng skllls to enjoy outdoor activltles such as camping or rambling. In additlon to the Scouting sertlons, the Scout Hall has been used by the Guiding movement IBrownies). However, thls group ceased to run in February 2026. We continue to provide storage for the Brownies, equipment in the hopes that the sessions will be vlable again. There are approxlmately 30 people per week usln8 the Hall In school term tlme. The Hall is Occasional used for Social events, whlch help wlth fund-ralsin8 efforts. Occasional lets to outside partles also take place. which again is another useful Sour of incometo the Group. The Trustee Board is working on to increase use of the Hall. and a number of other Scout groups have used the hall for overnight stays in the area. The Scout Group Trustee Board, Council and Leader5 continue to raise e55ential funds to SUPPOrt the costs of running and maintainlng the Hall and helplng with the cost of running group activities. This year the celling insulation ifnprovement and addition of noise reducing paTrels has been completed.
