The 144th 1st Baillieston Glasgow Scout Group has proudly been a part of our community since 1912, offering young people the chance to explore, grow, and develop essential life skills. We are now based at St. Andrew's Church hall, right in the heart of Baillieston, where we run Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers sections. While we don’t currently offer a Squirrels section, all of our other sections meet on Monday evenings.
Scouting is the perfect way to meet new friends, discover exciting new experiences, and build #SkillsForLife. Whether it's playing dodgeball, Scout rugby, or adventuring through hiking and kayaking, Scouting is a non-stop adventure that equips young people with the tools they need for the future. None of this would be possible without our incredible adult volunteers, who make all these opportunities a reality.
Whether you're looking to join as a young person eager for adventure or as an adult ready to inspire, we’d love to have you!
Join us today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
What Do Scouts Do?
What Do Scouts Do?
Weekly Meetings
Weekly Meetings
Scout groups host weekly meetings during term time. During this time young people get together with other members of their group and participate in almost any activity. All the games and activities are aimed at either completing badges, learning useful new skills, working as a team or just having some good old fun. Young people could find themselves having a simple game of football or completing a pioneering project with nothing but wooden staffs and rope. The only limitation is our imagination and of course health and safety.
Events
Events
Whenever possible Scouts will get away for events. This could be a challenging day out such as bagging a Munro or helping out with a fundraising event. Many events could be planned by our young people and allowing them to challenge themselves and each other is what Scouting is all about.
Nights Away
Nights Away
One of the most exciting things for Scouts to get involved in is a night away. This could be an activity camp at one of the UK's many outdoor adventure centres or a two-night canoeing expedition carrying all your gear and anything in between. Nights away provide an excellent challenge for young people to get out on their own and with friends and learn skills such as self-reliance by preparing all their meals or gaining that sense of achievement that comes from completing a two-night hike sleeping in shelters you built yourself.
The only downside is the washing needs done on a Sunday night. Although listening to all the stories of the unique memories that were created makes it all worth it. Well....usually.
