In their own words
Keith Stewart, RSCDS Headquarters member
"There is so much to the RSCDS that it’s almost impossible to catalogue it all. Heritage, is keeping alive a tradition going back centuries. Friendship, is meeting and having a social life locally and around the world. Giving back is travelling and visiting, teaching and sharing, entertaining and advertising one of the most rewarding pastimes ever. Relationships is gaining friends all over, plus your future spouse of 40 Years. Fitness, is joining a “sport” which was once rated as second only to Badminton in energy expenditure.
I began as a member of Southampton, became a life member of Headquarters when at St. Andrews and lodged it at various Branches in England, then Toronto and Hamilton, Canada."
