122nd Craigalmond Scout Group (Comely Bank)

Welcome to the world of Scouting and the 122nd Craigalmond Scout Group (Comely Bank).

We believe that young people develop most when they are learning by doing, when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. Everything we do is guided by the balanced programme which is a continuous progression of training, activities, badges and awards for young people from 6 to 25. We offer a huge range of activities and experiences to suit all ages, abilities and interests including:

Badge work – we still award badges and today there are lots of subjects to choose from including some traditional ones like camp cook to modern ones like global conservation.

Awards and challenges – young people can work towards a range of these to reward participation, commitment and achievement. Some are individual and others for group efforts.

Outdoors – camping and outdoor activities are a very important part of Scouting for all our members. This includes anything from a Beaver experiencing their first ever night away from home and family at a sleepover, to an expedition to Mount Everest.

Providing life skills, fun, rewards, and confidence to our children of North Edinburgh and surrounding areas through Scouting.

Scouting is run by adult volunteers.

Catchment area...

The members of the Comely Bank Scout Group (122nd Craigalmond) live in Comely Bank, Craigleith, Craigleith Hill, Dean Village, Ravelston, West End, parts of Stockbridge and the "Inverleith" area around Ferry Road (broadly the Flora Stevenson's school catchment or the south of the Broughton High School catchment).

We’d love you to join us in Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers or Network, or to volunteer as an adult.

Join the adventure!
