Fota 2010
July 9th, 2010
Just back from Annual Camp and everyone had an amazing time. I would like to thank all of the leaders, explorers scouts, discovery scouts and rover scouts who were involved for an incredible camp. Watch this space and I hope to have a log written by two of our scouts up shortly along with many many photos of the camp.

Last Discoveries
June 10th, 2010
Next Thursday is our last meeting for this year.
As some of you know it is also our last year as we are immigrating to Canada during the summer. This leaves the Scouts down two leaders. We really need people to volunteer to help out or the section may not run next year. We, by law, have to have a certain amount of leaders to children and the same people are left doing this year after year. This is not fair on them. With the new child protection laws it takes about 8 weeks to get Garda Clearance (even if you have received it before you need to re-apply for scouts), you don’t need to train as a leader and you don’t need any experience. Rachel had no experience in scouting when she started.
If you want the 29th Dublin Scouts to continue please volunteer some time.
We would also particularly like to thank Emma who even though is an explorer Leader has come down every week to help us.
Hope you all have a great summer.

I have been meaning to post this since Tony mentioned it at Group Council a while ago, anyway better later than never.
Congratulation to Emma on achieving her Gaisce Gold Award, it is very difficult to achieve and show the hard work and dedication she is capable of.
Welldone.

70th Anniversary
May 24th, 2010
The 29th Dublin Scout Group will be celebrating out 70th Anniversary on Saturday the 29th of May and we would like everyone to join us! The celebration will be taking place at the scout den between 2pm and 4pm, all scouts and their friends and families are welcome.
On the day we will have a campsite set up to show everyone what we get up to when we go away on camp. There will be some food be cooked on the fire for anyone who is in the mood for a burger or a sausage. Some may even be lucky enough to get the chance to make a smore by roasting marshmallows over the fire. There will also be some games for people to try their hands at and lots lots more.
Inside we will also have a presentation of photographs and memories from the last 70 years. At about 2.30pm we will then gather together inside the hall where you will be able to hear about what the group have been doing for the last 70 years and how we got to where we are today.
In preparation for this day all scouts will be receiving a commemorative kneckerchief this week. The scouts can then wear these with their uniform on the day and for the next year.
Hopefully this will be a day to remember and their will be lots of people their to celebrate this occasion with us!
