Glasgow Disabled Scouts @77thGDS is a dedicated Scout Group that cater to the unique needs of those aged 6-25 with disabilities.

Through our charitable fund, Giving Glasgow, we recently donated £500 to the group to help improve accessibility at their lodge. 😊

Summer Camp 2023 was a great big adventure and for many of our young people their first ever time away from home. From abseiling to archery, fire lighting to scavenger hunting we packed a lot into a week.

Our final day at Summer Camp - Saturday - was also a very exciting one as we had a party to celebrate officially opening the re-developed Glengoyne Lodge!

It's Day 7 at Summer Camp - Friday's adventure included swimming then abseiling, rock climbing and archery and even had our own dance exercise class led by one of our volunteers! Then it was dinner and our final campfire, including birthday cake!

We're definitely behind on posting photos from Summer Camp now! We'll post all the rest of our amazing adventure over the next few days, but for now here's a group photo from today and the official opening of our re-developed Glengoyne Lodge.
