Fixing flag poles and cleaning a muddy burn were just some of the tasks for the Navy as they helped at Girlguiding Dunbartonshire’s campsite.

They travelled from the Naval Base in Helensburgh to Catterburn campsite, near Croftamie, to pitch in across two days.

Their hard work will ensure the site is in top condition for use by Girlguiding groups from Helensburgh and beyond.

‘So grateful’

Chair of Catterburn, Lynne Gibbons, said: “The Navy has become a regular feature at Catterburn and we are so grateful for their efforts. It’s a big job to maintain the campsite and their contributions make a big difference.”

She added: “It’s important for us to have the backing of the communities we serve, and we encourage other organisations or businesses that can spare a few hours to get involved and help us keep Catterburn in great shape.”

“Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers have been visiting Catterburn from Helensburgh since it opened in the 1980s. We’re proud of this legacy and hope it continues for many more generations.”
