No experience needed — full training, PVG covered, and a friendly team whatever time you can give.
Welcome
Adventure, friendship, and Skills for Life
The 144th 1st Baillieston Glasgow Scout Group has been part of our community since 1912. Based at St Andrew's Church hall in Baillieston, we run four sections — Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers — for young people aged 6 to 18, all meeting on Monday evenings, with a brand-new Squirrels Drey for 4–6 year olds coming soon.
It's a third place — not school, not home — where young people can be themselves, make real friends, and find their feet alongside trusted adults who believe in them.
