SCOUT GROUP NEWS

A special Emergency meeting has been called for all parents and other interested adults to discuss recruiting leaders in all sections in the Scout Group.

Due to many circumstances the current leaders may not be able to attend every week or all activities in the coming Scout Year September 2017 to July 2018 which means all three sections will not have sufficient adults to run the sections according to Child Protection laws in ireland. we need more adults or some of the sections may not reopen in September 2017.

Your help is needed and we invite you to come along to this special meeting at 8.30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23 (approx 45 mins) to meet with the Group Council members who will give you details of training required and other details such as Garda Vetting etc.

Please do come along, or if in meantime, you wish to speak to our Group Leader, Jane Power any Tuesday night in the hall, if you are interested in coming along and joining our group to help save closing some of the Sections of beavers, cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. thank you for your co-operation.
