What's on at Meggernie

Safety at the heart of what we do

Explorer Scout, 17 Sophie My residential at Meggernie was a life-changing experience. I gained confidence in things I used to shy away from. For example, I’ve never been the most confident cook, let alone on an open fire. But I’ll now quite happily volunteer to do the cooking on any Explorer camp I attend. Explorer Scout, 17 Frazer To put it simply, I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for Rab, Judith and the wonderful adventures they have taken me on.
