Bookings for 2010 open from Monday 5th October.

In order to promote the activities available in the South East Scotland Region, Longcraig took some of its sailing and kayaking equipment up to a very wet Bonaly this afternoon. Wet weather gear was certainly the order of the day as the rain did its best to dampen spirts but as always where this is water someone has to go and play in it - pictures in the gallery!!! :-)

On the 27th and 28th of June, Longcraig cadets and staff took to the water to watch this unique powerboat challenge event enter and then leave the Forth Estury.  The centres Rib and Launch both travelled down the river for a better view, and the sense of going on a trip added to the fun, and broadened the teams awareness of driving powerbaots outwith our home patch.  It was a great couple of days, with some challenging conditions for the competitors and spectators alike.  Look in the photo gallery for some pictures.

Congratulations to 4 cadets who through their association with the Guide's have achieved their BP Awards.  This represents the colmunation of work by these cadets and can only benefit them while working with us.  WELL DONE!
