We're over the moon that Scouts has won Volunteer Team of the Year for our work supporting the public at the Lying in State of HM Queen Elizabeth II. We couldn't be prouder of the hundreds of volunteers who gave such selfless service to the nation.

Scouting in the Borders, Braid, Craigalmond, East Lothian, Edinburgh North East, Midlothian & Pentland areas. Volunteering makes a difference to local young people as we provide the skills for life they need. Flexible volunteering. No previous experience required. Can you help?🙏
Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it. Find out more about volunteering with Scouts! bit.ly/3CgW8UP It's #GoodForYou!

Don’t forget, the clocks go back one hour tonight at 2am (so you’ll get an extra hour of sleep!). It's the time when we switch from British Summer Time (BST) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) – useful to know if you’re planning any international Zoom chats with friends.
