45th Greenock & District
In the Sommerville Weir Hall at Quarrier’s Village, a Beaver Colony was started in early September 2008. The numbers rose quickly to 18 boys and girls and by early December has a complement of 24.
On the 2nd October 2008, Assistant District Commisioner Beavers invested 12 Beavers who took their Promise and were given their badge. The District Commissioner presented them with their scarves.
On Wednesday 3rd December, another eleven Beavers were invested and presented with their scarves by Graham Haddock - Assistant Scottish Commissioner (Scouts). Graham was a member of the former 45th Scouts.
On 10 February 2009, a further two Beavers were invested and presented with their scarves by Margaret Bell of the 70th Beavers and a former Cub Leader with the original 45th

They meet on a Wednesday evening from 6.00 - 7.00
Martin Buchan leads the Colony and can be contacted on 01505 612300 for more details.
The Group has taken the registration number of a previous well known Greenock Group - the 45th Renfrewshire. The original 45th was founded in 1920 and met initially in the Greenock Orangefield Baptist Church hence the scarf colours of Orange and Green.
