Hi all, just a few days left before we head off on Annual Camp but still lots of work to do. We need all Scouts to help with the sorting and packing of the gear over the next  few days. we are meeting in the den on Thursday and Friday at 3 pm.  On Saturday we will meet at 3 pm to load all the gear and your haversacks into the van. Also on Saturday you  need  to bring your passport and e111 card with you, we have been advised that we actually should bring them with us so we will collect and keep them safe during Camp. We will also collect your spending money on Saturday, remember max is UK 100, as we mentioned on Thursday Bank of Ireland in Main street will waive the commission fee if you mention you are with the Scouts.

Dont forget we are meeting on Sunday morning at 6.15 am ( that means in the morning) so we want to get all this administration stuff done on Saturday.    

NO Troop meeting on Thursday evening.

See you all on thursday afternoon and dont forget to make sure those uniforms are all perfect for Sunday especially your neckerchief.

Hi all, this weeks troop meeting is a full uniform meeting, we want to ensure that all Scouts travelling on Annual Camp have full Uniform. Its getting close to our departure for England and we still  have a lot of work to do in relation to getting the gear ready, will have talk about it on Thursday.

This Sunday 5th July is the annual Scout mass and family BBQ. We need as many Scouts as possible to attend in full uniform. We will be meeting at Hall at 12.00 for 12.30 mass which will be followed by a family BBQ. All your family is invited. Please make an effort to attend this important event.

The Leaders

Dont know about you guys but all the Leaders were totally wrecked after the weekend. We all had a great time and again say thanks to all who were on the Weekend for your good humour and behaviour. There was a number of you who seemed to take too much enjoyment out of soaking the Leaders on Saturday afternoon but as the old saying goes               ‘ Revenge Is  Sweet’.

There is no troop meeting for the next two Thursdays so that means we are back in the hall on Thursday 17th July. However this Sunday 5th July we are having our annual BBQ after 12.30 mass in the Priests garden. All Scouts and families are invited so please make the effort to come along.

see you then

The Leaders

As you all know we are going camping in  Larch Hill for the weekend. Meet at hall at 4.30 pm on Friday next 26th June, usual gear required including sun cream, the forecast is good for the weekend.  We plan to be back on Sunday by about 12.30 this leaves plenty of time to get to Croke Park for 4.oopm throw in. We are covering the cost of the weekend from Subs. Bring your own sweets etc. If you have any questions contact one of the leaders.

As you will all be on your holidays by Friday afternoon we expect you all to be in good humour for the weekend, whingers will be dealt with! You have been warned.

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
