Welcome to the Dundee District Scouts
Dundee Scouting offers challenges and adventure to almost a thousand young people and adults across the city, and is part of a UK organisation with half a million members.
We do some pretty amazing things in Dundee Scouting, but for us, adventure is a way of life and not just an activity or expedition.
Our Scouts grow in confidence by trying out new skills and stretching themselves. Whether it’s an Explorer trying out his French on an international trip or a Scout leading his Patrol for the first time, each time we challenge ourselves, it’s a step forward. When a Scout stands up to a bully, or sticks up for what they believe in; that’s an adventure!
Scouting is open to all young people aged 6 to 25, of every faith and background. There are also plenty of opportunities for adults to become involved as Leaders, Assistants or Administrators.

Leader Training
Here is the updated 2012 Training Calendar.
Applications should be made on our standard application form to the local ADC(AT) who will forward to the relevant Course Director.
Details of the adventurous activity training is contained in the Lochore Meadows Course Brochure. They will be arranging separate Scouting courses at times to suit us, but I have to have names of those wishing this first. Leaders have been requesting this training for the past three years and the Region have now arranged it, so please make use of it.

The 2012 Cubs Fun Indoor Football Tournament took place in the Douglas Sports Centre. 54 cubs from 8 packs played 3 hours of football after being mixed into 8 teams named after 8 of the teams taking part in this years African Cup of Nations. The teams were Mali, Ghana, Gabon,Zambia, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Senegal.
A very close competition was eventually won by Ivory Coast on Goal difference ahead of Mali. Both teams went through the tournament undefeated and were pushed all the way by Zambia who were on 17 points.
Every team won at least one game and every game was played in great spirits. Teams were awarded 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and one for a defeat.
The final table was as follows.
