Squirrels is coming to the 144th in January 2027

Our new Squirrel Drey for 4 to 6 year olds is coming in January 2027. Families on our waiting list will be contacted shortly with details. Here's what to expect and how to register interest.

Our youngest adventurers are getting a Drey of their own. Squirrels, for children aged 4 to 6, is coming to the 144th Glasgow Scout Group in Baillieston in January 2027. A “Drey” is what a Squirrel group is called, and ours will be the first in the 144th’s history.

Already on our waiting list?

We’ll be in touch shortly with details. There’s no need to apply again.

What to expect

Squirrels will meet on Monday evenings, 6–7pm, during term time, at St Andrew’s Church hall in Baillieston. It’s a church hall, but Scouts is open to everyone, all faiths and none. We’re an inclusive group, not a religious one.

Parents drop off and collect at the end. Squirrels pay the same monthly subs as our other sections; see group costs.

Interested in a place?

Visit our Squirrels page and register your interest. Registering interest doesn’t reserve a place: places are limited, and we’ll contact families individually about places.

If your child has additional needs, or you’d like to talk about anything before they start, please contact us privately. Scouts is for everyone, and we’ll work with you to help your child settle in.

Could you help?

Our new Squirrels team is growing, and we’d love a few more adults to help on a Monday evening. No experience is needed, training is free and we cover PVG checks. See our volunteer roles.
