Local Scouts from Broughton and Greenside recently camped together at the Blair Atholl International Patrol Jamborette – the premier Scottish Scout camp, hosting over 1,500 Scouts from 20 nations in the beautiful grounds of Blair Castle.

Scouts from the 11th Troop (based in St Mary's Primary School) and the 154th Troop (based at Greenside Church Hall) camped together at the weekend satellite camp, joining six members from both troops who were representing Leith District at the two-week event.

Scout Leader Scott Richards said, 'Blair Atholl is a fantastic international experience for young people from Broughton.

'It exposes them to scouts from every continent, and they'll make friendships that will last a lifetime.'
