About this project

The 9th Aberdeen Scout Group is a youth led organisation in the Broomhill area of Aberdeen. Our members are passionate about improving our impact on the climate. They want our Scout Group to head towards Net Zero and be the Scout Group with the lowest climate impact in Aberdeen! 
 
Our biggest use of energy is in heating and lighting our Scout Hut and in travelling to and from the hut.  
 
We want to replace our old roof and walls which have no insulation with modern highly fuel efficient materials.  
 
We want to replace our old single glazed windows with modern highly fuel efficient double glazing. 

We want to replace our old inefficient lighting with modern low energy usage lighting. 

We want to encourage users to cycle to and from the hut by installing cycle lock infrastructure. 

We need your help on our journey to fuel efficiency!

‘Sharp Response’ provides a daily mobile crisis outreach service targeted to those alcohol/drug users deemed to be at highest risk. The service goes to the individual wherever they are, rather than waiting for the individual to come to the service and so we are requesting funds for an electric car to make our service more sustainable.

We wish to install a self composting toilet at Grove Nursery for all nursery users. This toilet means that older people, children, people with mobility issues and people with specific conditions will be able to use the site as currently there is no toilet provision at all.
