Our first year of operation was one of establishing ourselves and training our members. We run courses on First Aid, Off Road Driving, Amateur Radio, and Map Reading skills, and we run practical exercises to put these skills to the test.
We have the backing of the National 4×4 Response network and support from our sponsors and Tunnocks , we now have a working agreement in place with Police Scotland and the West of Scotland Regional Resilience Partnership.
This means that we are recognised as an available resource for the Emergency Services and all other partners (Category 1, Category 2 and voluntary) of the RRP.
We also have agreements in place with other organisations, e.g. Red Cross, Ardgowan Hospice in Greenock.
In March 2013 we were involved in a major relief operation over three days to help the Isle of Arran when severe snows caused complete power failure to the whole island.
March 2018 were assisted with Beast from the East transportation of NHS Staff, Ambulance Controllers, District Nurses and Patients.
September 2022 Operation Unicorn with 58 members of all Scottish Groups assisted in communications and Marshaling of the route through Angus for the final journey of HM The Queen to London.
