Scouts on the Water - Part 2
We were back on the water again tonight in Skerries. Fiona is away on holidays and Alan had work commitments so it was left to Ciarna and Brendan to run the evening. No Better Men. Again, we met at the sailing club in Skerries and the guys from Outdoor Dublin met us there. We got changed into wetsuits and headed for the beach. The tide was in, so we didn’t have too far to go.

Scouts on the Water - Part 1
We met at Skerries Yacht/Sailing Club tonight as we were going out on the water to do some kayaking with Outdoor Dublin in order to complete some of our Paddling Adventure Skills badges.

Scout Meeting 11th June 2015
We had two new scouts join us for the evening tonight. One is a friend of one of our APLs who is in scouts in Rush and staying with her. The other is a girl who just wanted to join because her friends in school kept telling her how awesome it was. We started with a game of Chairball outside for a bit of Energy Release. It was a bit one-sided with the final score 19-12. After the game we went back inside to cover off more of the theory for our Paddling Skills badge. Last week
First ever Full Section Camp
We met up at the car park beside the school and were off to Larch Hill just after 7pm. We had 11 girls and 5 lads as well as Alan, Brendan, Ciaran, & Fiona. Brendan was the first to arrive at Larch Hill, so he checked us in and found out that we would be in the Taylor field. It was going to be a busy weekend with over 700 staying on Saturday night. Brendan organised for a trailer to carry up our tents and group gear to the field. The scouts had to carry their own bags. We set
