The Regional Fun Day was back after a two year hiatus due to the pandemic with Scouts and their leaders from Falkirk, Clackmannan and Stirling Districts once again enjoying all the campsite offers.
The weekend also marked the centenary of the venue being used for camping after being gifted to the local Scouting movement as a training ground by Sir Ian Bolton.
Special visitors last Saturday included, in this the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, the Queen’s representative, Alan Simpson, Lord-Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk. Also attending were Andrew Sharkey, Chief Commissioner for Scotland; Gordon Robertson, Chair of the Scottish Board, (ex 15th Stirlingshire); Craig Turpie, Deputy UK Chief Commissioner for Transformation, (ex-chairman of the World Scout Committee, ex 1st Stirlingshire).
