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.
