18 Scout Brothers Together Again

by The Scottish Council The Scout Association

Here's a fun story from Charles Lowe of the 21st Aberdeen (Cults) Scout Group. Recently their Scout camp boasted an astonishing feature on the attendant list . . .a total of 18 brothers all in one place.

9 sets of brothers from the 21st Aberdeen (Cults) Scouts returned from annual camp in August this year.  

The 18 brothers in camp was the highest ever recorded number of brothers in camp at any one time. One set of brothers had their sister camping as well. 

The brothers were part of 47 Scouts who enjoyed various activities including canoeing, sailing and cooking during the week's camp.  

6  Scouts gained the Chief Scout's Award and 2 completed the Duke of Edinburgh's Silver Award.

The picture above shows the 9 elder brothers (back row) with their younger brothers in front.  The sister of 2 of the brothers is 3rd from left, her elder brother behind and younger brother in front.
