Claire Baker joined Parliament in congratulating the 5th Fife Scout group during a member’s debate on the winners of the Black’s of Greenock national camping competition 2012.
The competition took place at Fordell Firs national scout activity centre in Fife in September with the Kirkcaldy group beating Calder district and Arbroath and Montrose district into first place.
The debate offered members the opportunity to congratulate the Fife Scouts group and the Scouting association as a whole for all the community work they undertake within their local communities.
Speaking after the debate Claire Baker said:
“It was good to add my warm congratulations to the 5th Fife Scout group for winning the Lyall trophy and all the hard work they do within the Fife community.
“Organisations such as the Scouts afford children the opportunity to grow in confidence and learn skills that can benefit them throughout their lives, including team building and problem solving.
“It’s also important to thank the volunteers who donate their time to ensure these organisations are successful. It is through their tireless and dedicated work that children across Fife and Scotland are able to enjoy the experience and benefits scouting brings.”
