Camping
Over and above our Scouts taking part in International Camps, both at home and abroad, they regularly camp in various groups. Zodiac Award Camps, Patrol Camps, Troop Camps and District Camping events all year round.
Camp Skills
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.
Water Activities
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.
Community Work
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.
