TAKE THE LEAD – APPEAL FOR SCOUT LEADERS
About Us
Volunteer leaders for Aird Scout Troop, part of 7th Inverness (Kirkhill) Scout Group, provide a range of adventurous activities on a weekly basis, during term time, for 10 ½ to 14 year-olds from Kirkhill, Kiltarlity, Beauly and Drumnadrochit.
Meetings take place on Thursday evenings, 7:15pm to 9pm in Kiltarlity Village Hall, but we also like to be out and about as much as we can!
Unfortunately, the forthcoming departure of Aird Scout Leader, Paul Whitefoot, from regular weekly volunteering will leave the section at risk of closing down at the end of the summer term, without additional help.
About Scouting
Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they’ll never forget. In Scouting, we can provide over 200 activities from abseiling to zorbing. If we don’t have an instructor who can help we can normally find someone who can. But Scouting isn’t just about activities for their own sake. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means. Did they have fun? Do they feel more confident? Would they do it again?
All this is made possible by the efforts of 100s of voluntary adult leaders. With award winning training and one-to-one support, we make sure that each volunteer gets to make the best use of their skills and talents. It’s something different from the norm, and that’s why a lot of people like it. In fact, it’s what’s made scouting the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country.
Take the Lead – We Need You…
We want to continue to provide the opportunities Scouting has to offer our local community – in order to do this we need adults to help support the existing Scout team.
Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls to get involved with Scouting and you don’t need to know everything about Scouting…you just need the energy, enthusiasm and ability to inspire young people. We’ll provide full training, induction and on-going support.

APPLE CRUSHING & LITTER PICKING
KIRKHILL COMMUNITY CENTRE.
SATURDAY 7th NOVEMBER
Not sure what to do with all the apples ripening in your garden. Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust have a solution and invite you to come along with as much fruit as you can gather to have it crushed and squeezed into juice. Just bring your apples along to the Community Hall on Saturday 7th November and we will do the rest. All we ask is that you also supply some clean flagons or containers. Empty milk cartons would be fine. You will then have delicious juice to enjoy at home or perhaps process further into cider. We will supply all the necessary equipment. There is no charge, although any small donation would be appreciated to help with costs. Spread the word, bring your friends and neighbours. We will be gathering between 1000-1200 on Saturday morning.
We are also planning to hold our twice yearly litter pick around the village on the same day, so if you could perhaps spare an hour or so to help with the litter pick as well, that would be great. Sticks, gloves and bags will be provided.
For further information contact Jim Murray 07749516773 or Donald Shiach 01463 831591

Community hub/shop: public meeting to update on progress: Wed 28 October
Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust has been working to investigate
the possibility of setting up a community hub and shop in or near
Kirkhill. Some of you will have taken part in a detailed community
survey during the summer.
Members of the community of Kirkhill & Bunchrew, are
warmly invited to a public meeting on Wednesday, at Kirkhill Community
Centre, starting at 8pm. The purposes of the meeting are to update the
community on progress and receive your feedback.
Members of the Trust will present a summary of the survey results, a quick look at the
site options under consideration, and provide brief details on possible business
models and funding sources. What we hope to get from you is your
comments, suggestions and questions.
We look forward to seeing a big turnout on Wednesday evening!
