We are very fortunate to have a
number of open and wooded areas only a few minutes walk from our Scout hall. We
regularly "take to the woods" where we are able to practice saw &
axe work, pioneering, making bivouacs, backwoods cooking and fire
lighting.
Sailing, Canoeing and swimming are enjoyed
by the troop. We own a number of canoes and canoe trailer and have access to
Lochs, rivers and the sea only a short trip from our base. Individual scouters
and scouts own various yachts and dinghies and there are a number of very good
sailing clubs a short drive from Cupar. Cupar also boasts its own swimming
pool. A result of this is a number of our scouts hold canoeing, sailing and
swimming proficiency badges, even to instructor level.
One of our regular
"community" commitments sees the scouts in white T-shirts acting as
litter pickers at the annual RAF Leuchars, International Airshow. Whilst it can
be a long day for the Scouts they end up with "ring-side seats" for
displays such as the famous Red Arrows.
