You're never too old to
join the adventure
Weekly meetings, camps and challenges for young people aged 4–25 across Paisley, Barrhead and Neilston.
Over a century of Scouting in Paisley, Barrhead and Neilston.
We're the largest co-educational youth movement in the area — eleven community groups running programmes for every age from four to twenty-five, for around 700 young people across the three towns.
It's all run by more than 150 adult volunteers, who give young people the chance to try things they'd never otherwise try: a first night away from home, cooking over a fire, leading a team, kayaking, hillwalking, speaking up in front of others. Above all, it's a place to belong — and the skills and confidence that come with it last a lifetime.
