The aim of this site (set up a number of years ago to serve East Kilbride District Scout Association) is to improve local communication with  members,  parents and non-members. 

As part of a recent national re-organization we are now part of Clyde Region rather than 'Lanarkshire Area.' 

East Kilbride and Hamilton Districts have also merged to become 'Strathcalder' District.

By exploring this site you can find out more about local Scouting and the fun and excitement of being a member of an active Scout Group in the District, an experience shared by millions of young people all over the World. 

Strathcalder District Association now covers:

• Blantyre                                                                          

• Bothwell

• East Kilbride

• Hamilton

• Strathaven                                       

• Thortonhall

Scouting is about being part of a ‘world-wide’ family, one of nearly 30 million Scouts in 216 countries. 

In the UK there are over 500,000 young people involved in Scouting. 

We have a 'programme' which covers the age range 6 to 25.  Young people, of either sex, are eligible to join the Section appropriate to their age. These Sections are:  Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorer Scouts,  and 'Scout Network'.  If you would like to join one of these Sections, or 'praise be', fancy being a Leader, use the 'Groups' link to find the 'family unit' closest to you and the contact info. to get in touch. Visit the Sections page to discover more about the various Scout Sections, age ranges  and what they get up to.
