Tempest Class Photos
School class photos are taking place next Wednesday. To help the children look their best, we would appreciate them arriving in school uniform. While a branded school jumper is preferred for the photograph, a plain jumper in the school’s colour is fine. We also have a selection of pre-loved branded jumpers available at the office; children are welcome to pop in and collect one if we have their size available.

100th Pentland Beavers and Scouts
Is your child looking for adventure, new friendships, and the chance to learn skills that last a lifetime? Scouts is the perfect place to get involved! Whether they’re curious about the outdoors, want to develop leadership skills, or just have fun with others their age, there’s something in Scouting for them. 100th Pentland offer incredible experiences for both boys and girls at our Beavers (6-8 yrs) and Cubs (8-10.5 yrs). Both sections meet on a Friday evening in the Bruntsfield/Polwarth area and deliver exciting and high-quality balanced programmes for children.
We are also looking for enthusiastic adult volunteers to join our leader teams so that we can continue to deliver amazing experiences to our Beavers and Cubs. You’ll gain valuable skills, meet new people, and be part of a supportive community, all while making a lasting impact.
For more information about joining the Beavers or Cubs at the 100th Pentland, or about getting involved as an adult volunteer, please email neil.hogg@100thpentland.org.uk
