Welcome to 2nd Renfrew Trinity Scout Group

Happy New Year and Welcome Back!

On behalf of the 2nd Renfrew Trinity Scout Group, I’d like to wish all our members, leaders, families, and friends a very happy new year!

The start of a new year is always a wonderful opportunity to pause and reflect on all that we’ve achieved over the last 12 months.  However, it’s also a time to look ahead with optimism, setting our sights on new goals and exciting opportunities. Many people choose to make New Year’s resolutions; pledging to learn something new, lend a helping hand, or take on an exciting challenge.

What resolutions or challenges will you set for yourself this year, and how will you make 2026 your best Scouting year yet?

 With that question in mind, I’m delighted that we have an action-packed programme lined up for each of our sections for the coming term.  We also have a number of events and activities that anyone can come along and get involved in (and we’d be delighted to see you!)  Highlights include:

• Beavers: With a lively programme of fun badgework planned, the Beavers will be exploring, learning, and making new friends this Spring.

• Cubs: The Cubs’ annual winter camp at Lapwing Lodge in February promises excitement, laughter, and the kind of adventures that make the best Scouting memories.

• Scouts: The Scouts are getting ready to embrace an unforgettable (and no doubt chilly!) weekend at Subzero at Auchengillan, where they’ll face new challenges and create memories to last for years to come.

• Explorers: Full of independence, the Explorers plan their own programme every week.  This term promises pizza making, climbing and camping – all with a view to learning new skills.

• Memory Café: In partnership with Alzheimer Scotland, we are excited for our monthly Memories Coffee Afternoons starting this spring.  Click here for background information about the event.  Further details of the start date will be provided very soon, so keep look out on this page for an update.

As always, a resounding thank you to all our dedicated volunteers, parents, and supporters.  Your enthusiasm and commitment make all these adventures possible and help create an environment where our young people can thrive and grow.

My hope for our Group as we enter this year is that we continue to live out the core values of 2nd Renfrew Trinity: adventure, challenge, memories, and friendship. Whether we’re tackling a new skill, sharing stories by the campfire, or helping others, these values guide us, shape us, and ensure that we’ll create lasting memories and friendships that will last far beyond 2026.

Adventure awaits!
