Ken’s Den is dedicated to the memory of Ken Thomson (1949 – 2020).
Ken began his Scouting at the 30th Inverleith Scout Group and after gaining his Queen’s Scout Award, became their Scout Leader, he then served as District Commissioner in Liberton and Edinburgh Area Commissioner. He went on to represent the Area as Chair of the Scottish Board and a member of the UK Board of Trustees. After the formation of South East Scotland, Ken, who was the Head Teacher of Lasswade High School, led Adult Training in the Region and used his teaching skills to enthuse many new leaders to provide exciting and adventurous opportunities for our members. Ken is remembered as a good friend and would be delighted that this amazing “village” in the heart of Bonaly Scout Centre, gives our young visitors the chance to experience the outdoors, to develop friendships and self-confidence, and to learn new skills.
