Since 1957 Aberdeen Scouts have been riding along on the crest of a wave and entertaining Aberdeenshire audiences in a range of venues such as His Majesty's Theatre Aberdeen, The Tivoli, Aberdeen High School for Girls (now Harlaw Academy), Hilton College and now the Aberdeen Arts Centre in King Street.

The sets, performances and scripts are professionally produced making for an entertaining performance. The Aberdeen Gangshows are of such a high standard that they were awarded the much coveted red scarf by Gang Show founder Ralph Reader in 1960. This entitles each Cub, Scout, Explorer, Scout Leader and Venture Scout who performs at a Gang Show to wear a red neckerchief scarf. By keeping the performances to a high standard the Aberdeen Scouting movement have retained their red necker status.

Each performance has a range of comedy sketches, songs, dances
