Welcome to the online home of St. Columba's Scout Troop!
There are several camps each year which can be either static, at an activity centre, or expedition-type. These are supplemented with other activities outside the hall which are arranged occasionally, such as a canoe trip up the River Bann or a day hike at the coast.
The programme and activities are provided by leaders Kenneth Hughes (aka Skip), Richard McQuillan, Andy Clarke and Aaron Coates along with Young Leaders and supported graciously by occasional helpers. Scouts are also encouraged to offer their own ideas for things they want to do and the leaders will do their best to make it happen.
The code of conduct is based around The Scout Law and The Scout Promise encompasses the mindset which is hoped to be achieved by every Scout.
The Scout Promise
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best,
To do my duty to God and to the Queen,
To help other people,
And to keep the Scout Law.
