Thanks to all who helped out with the Pascal fire on Saturday evening. We’ve thrown up a few photos below.
Raven of the Year
We’ve also updated the Raven of the Year leaderboard. The lead is being shared by Sam P. and Nicole, who have a narrow lead over Ellen in 3rd place. It’s very close at the top with less than 10 points between the top 10.

Caw Caw Ravens,
Well done to all who built the 2 awesome fires yesterday. We will be bringing one of them over to the front of the church for the Easter Vigil mass on Saturday.
Everyone must wear full and perfect uniform – No exceptions! So get them ready now. (Bi Ullamh)
We will meet at the den at 7:45pm on Saturday and get the fire started and blazing!
Hope to see as many of you there as possible.

We’ve updated the leaderboard so check it out on the “Raven of the Year” tab. It’s close at the top with Eoin out in front on 37 points but just behind him are Nicole, Callum and Ellen all on 34 points. The patrol with the most points are the Seagulls with 165 points and the Peewits are putting them under pressure only 4 points behind on 161.
Keep up the good work everyone and you’ll rack up a load of points!!!
See you all tomorrow!
Hi all,
As we said in last nights meeting we will be doing a Backwoods activity on Sunday in Turvey Woods. It will involve building some awesome shelters, cooking on fires and other great Backwoods survival techniques.
We will be meeting at the Den at 12 noon and will be back in the evening at approximately 5pm.
Uniform is not needed but all scouts must wear their neckerchief. Bring your penknife if you have one.
Hope to see as many of you there as possible.
The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is a spelling alphabet used by airline pilots, police, the military, and other officials when communicating over radio or telephone. The purpose of the phonetic alphabet is to ensure that letters are clearly understood. It is used to solve the problem when P’s sounded like B’s, S’s sounded like X’s, and so on. To prevent confusion in situations like this, people are often trained to use a spelling alphabet to make them better understood over the phone when they have to read off a series of letters.
Have at look at the list below and see if you can spell out your full name.
You can practice your alphabet by playing the “Lexicon Lander” game here -> http://alturl.com/64wnf

Semaphore flags is the system used for communicating information at a distance by using visual signals with hand-held flags. Semaphore flags are usually red and yellow for signalling between ships at sea and blue and white for signalling to and from land
When you see the “Numerical” flag it means that everything after is a number. When the letter J (Alphabetic) flag is shown in the number, it means that the number is finished and the next sequence is alphabetic.
We will be using semaphores in next Thursdays meeting so have a look at the picture below to practice.
See if you can work out the mysterious cryptic message at the bottom of this post
Yo dudes,
We won’t be having a meeting this Thursday (16th Feb) as it is mid-term. Enjoy your mid-term and we’ll see you all next week.
Hi all,
The directory delivery is happening this Saturday (February 4th). We will meet at the Den at 10am and it will probably take a couple of hours. The more people that help out the quicker it will be, so please come along and help out.
Hope to see you all on Thursday.
