The unit would like to attend the National Outdoor Centre at Lochgoilhead to take part in adventurous activities that will improve their leadership and team building skills as well as taking part in activities that we cannot supply for them.
Description
The explorer unit is based in the three towns and is made up of young people aged between 14 and 18 years of age. The unit leaders are unable to supply the adventurous activities that the young persons wish to take part in. These activities are available at the nation Scout Outdoor Activity centre at Lochgoilhead. They would be able to take part in activities like abseiling, climbing, mountain biking, burn run, sailing and kayaking . We plan to attend there in March 2025 which would allow us time to raise sufficient funds to attend. The total cost for this project is £2050. The cost includes accommodation, food, all activities and safety equipment. We plan to take a party of 12 persons to this event. Booking for the centre is £167 per head. Total of £2004. Transport by private cars is estimated at £46 to cover fuel costs.
Location: Our unit over the years has been very successful in providing leaders for the scout association by a varied programme and adventurous activities. This grant would allow us to continue this successful programme.
Good luck team 👍
