Scouting Ireland is a wonderful organisation; Scouts is just one part of that organisation, (the part that puts the 'won' in wonderful!!) Young people from the ages eleven to sixteen can join Scouts. There are meetings held once a week and trips away every little while. So its all fun Fun fun really! There are Many things you can do in Scouts that you might never get to do outside Scouts. Such as rock climbing, caving, absailing, boating ect. Scouts is also a great way to make new friends and boost your social skills! So why not join today???? Well? Why not?? Or you know if your busy today tomorrow........But REMEMBER! The kettle is ALWAYS hot! Also the grass is always greener on the otherside....not that that has anything to do with anything.....but you know what they say: "Old people are just young people, with nothing added but years". So join Scouts and join the ADVENTURE!!!

Welcome to Cub Scouts! Cub Scouts is for boys and girls aged from eight to about eleven and it's a great way to make loads of new friends and have a whole lotta fun too!
Our Cubs usually meet once a week in the local scout den but thats only half the story! About once a month, the pack goes hiking, swimming, camping, to the cinema or wherever you wanna go! That the cool thing about Cubs, you help decide what the pack does and when now where else will you get that kinda input!
Our cub pack runs on what we the 'gang system'. The pack is broken into smaller groups called sixes and each six has a leader called a sixer no not an adult, a kid just like you! With the help of the sixers, the leaders in the group plan exciting activities and games for you to take part in its great!

Ventures
It's hard to explain what Venturing is all about! This is because as a Venture Scout you could end up doing almost anything- Imagination is your only limit! You can challenge yourself, try new things, acheive your goals and most importantly have a laugh with a group of like minded young people!
As a Venture Scout you could find yourself trekking with a friend across some far off country on the Explorer Belt, or exploring the lesser known parts of Ireland on Challenge. You might decide to go along to the Venture Scout Moot and meet with Ventures from around the country, then again you might hit the Galtees for a weekend of adventurous hill-walking!
In a fit of madness you might decide to try it all and really explorer what Venture Scouting has to offer you, but with all that's possible it might take you awhile to get around to everything!
