On behalf of the Commanding Officer, we are thrilled to welcome you to the 1SG Padlet, your one-stop, centralised platform for everything related to Welfare in the 1st Bn Scots Guards and our upcoming unit move to Cyprus. Here you will find all the latest information, important updates, essential documentation, and any actions required to ensure a smooth and successful transition from Catterick to Dhekelia.

This move marks a significant and exciting chapter for the Scots Guards, and we want to make sure that every member of our team – including service personnel, partners, children, and even pets – along with all your belongings, arrive in Cyprus safely, comfortably, and with as little stress as possible. We appreciate that for many of us, this will be the first overseas unit move, and we fully understand that it can feel overwhelming at times. Rest assured, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Please make it a habit to check this page regularly, as we will be posting frequent updates and sharing vital information as it becomes available. Staying informed will help you prepare and plan effectively for this exciting new adventure.
