ONE Programme

The Group completed it’s training day on Sunday 10th April and can now proceed to the new ONE programme developed by Scouting Ireland. The new programme is based around much more youth involvement in the planning, delivery and review of the activities we do. It is very much based on personal progression of scouts and the new badges support special interest and focus on some traditional scouting Adventure Skills such as Camping, Pioneering, Hillwalking, Backwoods, Emergencies and well as a range of Water and Air based skills.

The programme is supported by new programme materials and each youth member will be given a new handbook in the next few weeks. This explains about the programme and is interesting for both parents and scouts to read.

Many thanks to Ian, Pat & Kieran (training team) and to Simon for organising the event.

Improvements to Outdoor Facilities

The works in the area directly behind the Scout Hall have now been completed. The works involved the removal of existing scrub and hedging which was overgrown. The trees were left in place and the space was tidied up by creating a bank with railways sleepers. Bamboo shielding was added to the fencing between this space and the apartment complex next door. An all weather (astro turf) surface was laid installed in the area between the Scout Hall and the Youth Centre Extension. The existing small floodlight were replaced with 4 large energy efficient fittings. The remaining grassed area has been retained for tent pitching and pioneering.
