Scots Scout to fundraise for Nepal earthquake victims to earn badge
Scott Logan, from Aberfeldy, has set himself an energy sapping epic which he hopes will raise much needed funds for relief work in Nepal.
Scott, a P6 pupil at the town’s Breadalbane Academy, has taken a close interest in the ongoing work of locally-based charity, Bring Back The Smile To Nepal.

This time, however, Scott intends to go solo and stage his very own triathlon to help the cause.
On 26 March he will swim 30 lengths of a pool, run two miles around the steep terrain of the Birks of Aberfeldy, followed by an 10-mile return cycle ride from Aberfeldy to Grandtully.
His proud mum Tina Logan said: “Pretty ambitious for a 10 year old.”
Scott’s family will be backing him all the way, his parents Jason and Tina have formed “Team Scott” to assist him during his triathlon with water, nutrition and moral support.
“It’s fantastic that he has set himself such an ambitious task to help us,” said Mark Bridgeman, one of the charity’s trustees.
“Everyone is really backing Scott and we hope he can help us with our ongoing rebuilding projects in Nepal. Well done Scott -I’m not even sure I could keep up with you.”
If you would like to support Scott’s endeavour, there are a number a ways you can help. Donations can be made via the charity’s website - www.beingbackthesmiletonepal.org.
