Hi all,

We have to postpone our camping weekend to Lough Dan due to a lot Scouts being unavailable – something about a group called One Direction being in town.

Instead we are going to have a day trip on Saturday. Hopefully more Scouts will be able to make the trip (and got to the concert).

We will be meeting at the Den at 10am and heading out to Howth. If the boats are running we will sail out to a nearby island – Ireland’s Eye.

We will discuss full details at tomorrow’s meeting. See you all then.

Meeting – Thursday 1st May – Back in Action

 

Hi all,

Hope you had great mid-term breaks? We know you are dying to get back to school! We’ll be back in action on Thursday evening as well – so see you all then!

Interpatrol Update – Week 3

It is unbelievably close in our Interpatrol competition! Merlins  are leading the way with Kestrels just 1.6 points behind! The Falcons are breathing down their necks only 6 points behind. This is quite impressive considering the score they got in Week1 – really upping their game! The standard of uniforms has really improved with one or two Scouts earning a perfect 50 points for their Patrol…… the marking has been quite tough and some Scouts just need minor improvements to get a perfect score.

We will keep all of the info about the Inter Patrol competition in the dedicated area of our website (Interpatrol Competition tab on top) or  Click Here

This was Week 3 of the competition and Sarah G and Patrick notched up points during the Drill competition. Sarah has won Drill 2 weeks out of 3, can anyone beat her?!?

The Eagle Patrol had just 2 members this week but Sam and Josh had perfect uniform and performed excellently in the Skit to earn 50 points

Well done to all of our Patrols, you all really have gotten stuck in and have shown great enthusiasm over the past 3 weeks! Keep it up!

Patrol Badge Placement

Hi all,

We’ve attached an image of where your new Patrol Badges need to be sewn onto your shirt. They go on top of your right sleeve, above your Special Interest Badge and below your PL/APL badge (If you have one).

These badges are part of your uniform and need to be sewn on.

This will be factored into uniform inspections and be part of the Inter Patrol competition!!
