The 12th Ayrshire (Kingcase) Scout Group is a large Group based in Prestwick, in the scout Area of Ayrshire.

We are a large group, with over 70 young people (Beavers, Cubs and Scouts) and over 10 leaders.

The 12th Ayrshire Scout Group ("12th") was founded by Revered Patterson of Kingcase Parish Church in 1948. We were registered with headquarters as a boy scout troop soon after. In 1983, we became one of the first Scout Groups in Britain to offer Beaver Scouting - for young boys aged 6 to 8. A few years later, Beavers became recognised as an official section of the Scout Association.

The Group is run by a dedicated team of leaders who are supported by our Group Scout Leader.

The administration of the Group is handled by the Group Executive Committee, which is made up of all the leaders and parents of the young people in our Group. The executive committee manages the fundraising efforts of the Group and ensures that the Group continues to run smoothly. The committee desperately needs more parent support, so if you can give up a few hours a month, please do get in touch with us!
We have put together some short pages on the work we do, the history of the Group and those who make sure everything else goes so well (the leaders of course!).
