Hi all, if you still owe money for the Jamboree, please make every effort to pay by this Thursday 24th July. If you need to know the balance that you owe, send a text to Shay and he will advise. This thursday will be our last full meeting before we go so make sure you are down on time and in Uniform. We are planning to have a very short meeting for your parents next week, we will give you details on Thursday. 

Important – Important – Important

On the Wednesday of the Jamboree each Scout Troop have been assigned a Country that they must adopt for the day. We have got ROMANIA, so we need your help. We need to find out as much as possible about Romania i.e. traditonal food, dress music and customs. We will need to transform our site into Romania for the day so think about it over the next couple of days and we will discuss on Thursday.

The Leaders

Dont know about you guys but all the leaders were totally wrecked after the weekend in the ‘ Bog of the ring’, a really enjoyable weekend. No doubt some of you went to bed on Sunday evening and did not get up until Monday afternoon. The waterfight was cool despite the actions of some sneaky Scouts who pretended they were taking no part then joined in the attack against the leaders. We will not forget !!! ok Emma. 

Scouts as usual this Thursday, full uniform. The Jamboree is almost on top of us so make sure you get your fee in as soon as possible. 

see you all Thursday

Hi everybody, hope the exams are going well for the Junior Cert Scouts, to those of you still in School dont worry, you only have a couple of weeks. To those who are already on holidays, you are so lucky! 

We are going camping this weekend to to the ‘Bog of the Ring’. We are going this Friday evening 13th June ( spooky) sometime after 7.00 pm and will be back on Sunday about 2.00 pm. It will be a relaxing weekend, no big hikes!!! so try and come along if you are available. We will need to charge a fee for the weekend and will update the site as soon as we figured out how much it will cost. We will put a recommended equipment list on the site shortly. 

Dont forget you public speaking merit badge, you should have prepared a speech on the topic that was assigned to you, if you have forgotten your topic, pick something else and bring it along. You wont have to speak to the whole troop if you dont feel like it.

Hope the studying is going well for all the Scouts facing the Junior Cert exams, keep up the good work only a couple of weeks left.

We are trying to organise a camping weekend on Friday 13th June, will confirm this asap. Let us know on Thursday if you are available. Also we want to start making use of our new mini buses so please make an effort to be on time on Thursady nights otherwise you might arrive down to find the hall empty. 

Jamboree 2008, we really need to finalise on the numbers by the end of the week, if you are planning to attend please make sure you make a payment this Thursday 22May 08 in order to book your place. A Jamboree is a really great experience and not every Scout gets an opportunity to attend.  All the leaders have attended a Jamboree and we would all highly recommend it. 

See you all Thursday

The Leaders

 

Dont forget that  although the evenings are getting better you must still wear your Uniform to the troop meeting, so lay off the texts pleading to wear tee shirts and shorts !!!! 

It is less than 100 days to the Jamboree and we really need to firm up on the numbers that are going so we need to know exactly who is planning to come with us. If you have not paid a deposit yet please do so as soon as you can. 

Still trying to organise a weekend or even a night camping during the month of May, trying to find a date that suits as many as possible as some leaders are on holidays and there are Communion ceremonies on. will let you know as soon as possible. 

see you all Thursday

Many thanks to all of you for making the weekend in Glenmalure a great success.  I dont know about you lot but I was wrecked last night and this morning even after having a lie in ( any commnets about my age are prohibited) Congratulations to the Star Scouts for completing their goal of reaching the summit of Lugnaquilla. Also well done to the younger Scouts for their efforts on Saturday, it was a tough enough climb. We will definitely make a return visit to Glenmalure. Ian is looking for pictures to put on the site and for a poster so dont forget to send them to him. If you need his email text me and I will send to you.
