Hi all,

As discussed at tonight’s meeting we will be helping out at the Darkness into Light event this weekend.

It will take place in the early hours of Saturday morning. We will be meeting at the Den at 1:00 am and heading across to Malahide Castle to help set up.

The main event will start at 4:15 am and we expect to be back at the Den at 8:00 am (Saturday morning).

All Scouts are welcome to attend but remember it is taking place very early in the morning and will be very challenging. If you feel up to it we will see you Saturday morning.

If you are coming, you will need – a torch, warm clothes and some snacks to keep you going through the night.

Pieta House is the centre for the prevention of self-harm or suicide opened over nine years. If you would like to learn more about Pieta House and the work they do you can visit heir website here http://www.pieta.ie/

Hi all,
We plan to head out this evening to have the Raven Sports Day. We’ll be meeting at the normal time (which is 7pm!!!) and heading off on the bus to Newbridge House to battle against each other in a number of different sports events.

Uniform is not needed, just neckerchief and athletic wear – tracksuit and runners.
See you all later!

Hi all,

Hope you all enjoyed your Easter break. We’ll be back in action this Thursday.

See you all then!

Well done to all of the Scouts from 164th Brackenstown, the time and effort you put into representing our Group was fantastic, all the Leaders really appreciate it. A big congratulations from the Raven Troop to our fellow Scouts in the Wolf patrol who came third in the county shield competition.

Hi All

Hope you have all recovered from the brilliant Group Camp last weekend.

As it is the Easter holidays we have no Troop meeting this Thursday.

Hi all,

Tomorrow night’s meeting is Skit night…… We’re sure most of you already know what a Skit is, but just in case – it’ll be a short performance by your Patrol, it can involve singing, dancing, jokes and other forms of entertainment……

The theme of the Skits tomorrow is “Light” so feel free to bring props (e.g. torches, lights) and get thinking about what you might want to do!

See you all tomorrow!
