In the summer of 1924, the Troop attended its first camp, joining with the Corstorphine Troop, which was led by the brother of the Troop’s own Scoutmaster, Mr Galloway. The combined group undertook a tramping expedition through the Highlands, marking the Troop’s first major outdoor activity.
Earlier that year, ten Scouts from the Troop had been selected to represent their unit at the Imperial Jamboree at Wembley, London. The event was to bring together 28,494 Scouts from 34 countries and territories of the British Empire. However, due to the high volume of applications received, the Troop’s entry was not accepted.
To compensate for this, arrangements were made for the Troop to join the Corstorphine Scouts on their planned Highland tramping camp, providing the boys with the opportunity to gain practical Scouting experience and to participate in a major activity alongside a more established troop.
