Kirkhill Scout Group is very active and provides a wide range of adventurous activity for young people.
There are 3 sections within Kirkhill Scout Group:
Kirkhill Beavers Scouts
Kirkhill Beaver Scouts are young people aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts, between eight and eight ½ years. Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. They meet together once a week in a Beaver Scout Colony.
Kirkhill Beavers meet on Tuesday evenings from 5.15 to 6.15pm at Kirkhill Community Centre during school term times. Contact Beaver Scout Leader: Mairi MacDonald – 01463 831116 – macm99@aol.com
Kirkhill Cubs Scouts
Kirkhill Cub Scouts provide loads of fun for eight to ten ½ year olds. You will have the chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them well you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.
Kirkhill Cubs also get to go on trips and days out to Fun Days and Sausage Sizzles and places like the Police Station. Sometimes you will be able to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities. Kirkhill Cubs meet on Tuesday evenings from 6.30 to 8.00pm at Kirkhill Community Centre during school term times.

Aird Scouts Section
Aird Scout Section is for young people, aged between 10 ½ and 14 years from the Kirkhill and Kiltarlity areas.
Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes
Being outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over to taking part in traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.
Aird Scouts meet on Thursday evenings from 7.30 to 9.00pm at Kiltarlity Community Centre.
