Welcome JNI Scouts
Adventure, Friendship, and Fun Await
At 7th Paisley & District Scouts, we believe in real adventure. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, developing new skills, or taking on exciting challenges, our Scouts (ages 10½ – 14 years) get hands-on experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and independence.
What We Do – Skills for Life
Scouting is about more than badges and uniforms—it’s about learning by doing. Our Scouts take part in a wide range of fun, challenging, and rewarding activities, including:
Outdoor Adventure
- Camping & Hiking – Experience the wild, pitch tents, cook outdoors, and learn essential survival skills.
- Monthly Zodiac Challenge Camps – Twelve unique camps across the year, each with a different theme and challenge.
Practical Skills
- Fire Building & Outdoor Cooking – Master the art of safely making fires and preparing meals outdoors.
- Pioneering & Construction – Build bridges, towers, and structures using ropes and poles.
Sports & Challenges
- Archery & Target Sports – Develop precision and focus with archery and air rifle shooting.
- Water Activities – Try canoeing, kayaking, and raft-building in a safe, supervised environment.
Personal Development & Community
- Badges & Awards – Work towards the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the highest award in the Scout section.
- Community Projects – Make a difference through volunteering and service in Paisley and beyond.
