The motion

That the Parliament thanks Trossachs Search and Rescue for its service; notes that the team is run by volunteers who make themselves available to assist members of the public who may find themselves in difficulty in the mountains; understands that the team was established in 1998; notes that the area covered by the team is popular with hillwalkers and sees high visitor numbers; commends the team for its commitment and tireless work; notes that the team carries out regular training on top of the time spent on call-outs; understands that the team was recognised with a Kings Award for Voluntary Service in 2023; further understands that the team saw this as a fitting tribute to Stuart Ballantyne, late founder of Trossachs Search and Rescue; notes that the searches and rescues carried out would not be possible without generous donations from the public, and further notes the excellent work that Trossachs Search and Rescue does to help educate the public on the importance of first aid and CPR, as well as being prepared on the hills.
