We are sure you will agree that Sunday was great craic. The cycling was great fun and thankfully the water in the NAC was warm.  Despite the fact that some Scouts have still to learn how to a stop a bike ( Hi Michelle ) we only had one little injury. Poor Rachel actually fractured her little finger, hope fully it is not long healing. Well done to all especially those who managed to master the Tandems.  By the way did anyone notice how Aoife kept cheating when racing Tony down the hill ! 

See you Thursday

Dont know about you guys but the Leaders are totally exhausted after what was a great weekend. Thanks to all of you for the way you behaved and participated in the events, it made it a great weekend for Scouts and Leaders. Congratulations to the younger Scouts for spending the night in the forest on Saturday, you were all great. Well done to to the older Scouts, there was no moaning or complaining and for teenagers that is something of a miracle, it was great craic. Maybe someday we will all get to hear the scary story. 

see you all Thursday

The Leaders

Remember this Weeks meeting will be from 7 until 8 Pm. It is a gear check for the weekend so you should bring along your packed haversack so the leaders can ensure that you all have the correct equipment.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WEAR YOUR UNIFORM, JUST NECKERS.   

A few things you should know about the weekend, we will be meeting at the hall at 5.45 on Friday evening. The coach will leave at  6.oo pm sharp.

There are no shops anywhere near where we are staying, so you will need to get all your junk stuff beforehand. 

We will be out on the Mourne Mountains on Saturday evening so make sure you pay attention to the list of items in the gear list below.

You should also bring Swimming gear .

It is an activity weekend not a fashion show so leave all your fancy clothes behind and only bring warm and practical clothing.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING MOBILE PHONES, we are not joking.

If you have not already paid please do so on Thursday night.

IMPORTANT: Sunday is Mothers day,  so make sure you arrange something for your Mam beforehand as you will not be back until late Sunday afternoon.    

See you all Thursday
