Bowling Party

We should be back at the Den for approximately 8:30pm. Uniform is not needed but neckerchiefs must be worn
Panto – Saturday 3rd January
We are planning our annual trip to the Panto for Saturday 3rd January. It is always a brilliant panto but this years panto will be even “brilliant-er” having the bonus of featuring our very own superstar Patrick!! Well done Paddy! Places at the panto are very limited, tickets are selling fast, costing €25 in total. Please bring €10 deposit on Thursday to guarantee your ticket.
See you all on Thursday at 6pm.
Investiture Photos
We officially welcomed 9 of our new Scouts last Thursday. All 9 Scouts did really well and it was great to mark their investiture with the ceremony on Thursday with family, former Cub leaders and friends present.
All 9 Scouts had (almost) perfect uniform before being invested and from now on, with their neckerchief will have 100% perfect uniform! Welcome to the Raven Troop!
(Thanks to our guest photographers – Venture Scouts – Nicole and Conor)
Investiture – Thursday 4th December – 8:30pm
Interpatrol Competition
A Massive thanks to Richie and Deirdre from Dublin Fire Brigade for giving up their time and being our guest inspectors last Thursday. They were very impressed with the standard of uniforms so keep it up. A few Scouts lost points for being late so make sure you are on time next week!
We have tallied their scores and updated the overall leaderboard. This is how things stand, going into the final week:
The Falcons – 2125 points
The Curlews – 2031 points
The Eagles – 1957 points
It is extremely close at this stage, and any Patrol could win it! With a possible 400 points up for grabs for the Patrol Activity this could prove the difference. We know there are activities planned so it would be advisable to go and do your activity…..it could prove to be crucial!
Investiture
This Thursday we will be investing all of the Scouts who have recently joined us. 
The ceremony will be taking place at the end of our meeting this Thursday (4th Dec) at 8:30pm . Aoife, Heather, Seán, Sophie, Harry, Nicole, Jamie, Adam, David and Chloe will all be making their official Scout Promise and earning their neckerchief! Families are invited to join us, take photos and witness the ceremony. It will kick off at 8:30pm. Looking forward to seeing you all then.

Well done to each and every Scout who took part in our annual Ready Steady Cook competition today. It was great to see so many Scouts today, showing off their culinary (that means cooking!) skills.
It was a difficult challenge but all 3 Patrols rose to the challenge and got stuck in from the start. After using their pioneering skills to build their altar fires, they got cracking on keeping their fire lit and cooked a tasty 3 course meal….. maintaining high levels of hygiene and safety at all times.
As with all of the activities involved in the Interpatrol competition so far, the scoring was extremely close with only 32 points separating 1st and 3rd place, the Ready Steady Cook results are:
Falcon Patrol – 432 points
Curlew Patrol – 418 points
Eagles Patrol – 400 points
The overall standings can be seen in the Interpatrol Competition section of our website. There are a couple of weeks left in the competition so make sure to keep up the stellar effort!!
