History of 83rd
The Group was first registered on 1st March 1983, founded by Douglas Fotheringham who had moved from the Three Churches Group in Dunfermline.
Originally formed with just a Cub Scout Pack and Scout Troop, a Venture Scout Unit was added in 1989 and a Beaver Scout Colony in 1990. Douglas Fotheringham was Group Scout Leader from 1983 to 1997 and Maureen Cameron was Cub Scout Leader from 1983 to 1994.
From its founding in 1983 until the Group AGM in 1999 the 83rd had a brown neckerchief with a grey border, but in 1999 adopted the 21st Century Tartan as the new colours for their neckerchief.
