Best of luck to our Scouts who will be starting their Junior this week!

We know that yous will do really well cos you are a bunch of brainboxes!!!

Yo Ravens,

Marica from the “Swords needs Playgrounds” campaign was speaking with you at our meeting last night and has asked us to help out with the bucket collections.

The collections will be taking place in Swords main Street and the Pavilions and the days are the 14th, 15th and 16th of June. We are looking for as many Scouts as possible to help out with the collection so put the dates in your diaries!!

Thanks!

Grab your sun cream and bucket and spade cos we’re heading to the beach this evening!

We’re going to take advantage of the awesome weather and pay a trip to the beach later on. Uniforms are not needed but neckerchiefs are….. as always!

See you all later (at the usual time – 7pm)

Hi All,

a reminder that we will be taking part in the annual Ward River Clean-up tomorrow. We will be helping out the  Swords Tidy Towns Committee. We will meet at 10.00am at the entrance to the Town Park across from the Castle Shopping Centre.

We will be finished by 2.00pm. We hope as many of you can make it as possible. Please wear your neckerchief and clothes which will get dirty.

We know a few of you will be heading off on holliers during the summer. Check out this airline safety video featuring a few Scouts and the UK Chief Scout (Bear Grylls)

Hey hey,

A reminder that the Civil Defence are running a training operation tomorrow (Sunday 28th). We’re meeting at the Den at 12:30 and heading up to Donabate then.

You need to wear your necker and have rain gear.

We’ll be back at the Den for 4:30pm approx.

See you all tomorrow!!

Hi All,

We’re heading out on the bus later so we won’t need to wear full uniform…… just neckerchief (as always!)

See you all later, 7pm as usual

Yo Ravens,

We will be holding our “Ermagherd Erm-ergencies Challenge” during Thursday’s meeting. We have worked our socks off over the past couple of months brushing up on our First Aid and Emergencies skills.

We will be holding a Patrol competition and presenting prizes to the winning Patrol.

Each Patrol will have to deal with an Emergency Scenario using your skills and knowledge learned during this “Ermagherd Erm-ergencies” programme cycle.

We are currently putting up a lot of resources in our “Emergencies” section of the Website. If you click on “Badgework” then “Adventure Skills” and “Emergencies” you will find tons of resources there. (Here’s a shortcut ->Emergencies )
