Ages 12–15 · 55th Cork Carrigaline

Scouts

Scouts develop independence and leadership through outdoor adventure, practical challenges and working together.

Adventure further

Hiking, water activities, expeditions and longer camps offer new challenges. Community projects put teamwork to use, while national events and jamborees offer opportunities to meet other Scouts.

Build skills for life

Camping, cooking, knots and first aid develop self-reliance. Personal challenges recognise progress according to each Scout’s abilities and interests.

Lead your patrol

Scouts work in Patrols with a Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader. With adult support, they plan meetings and camps, organise equipment, prepare meals and run activities.

What to expect

Scouts typically meet weekly during school terms, with some activities during the holidays. Young people take an active role in shaping their programme.

These are examples from Scouting Ireland’s programme. Contact our group for current meeting times, places and planned activities in Carrigaline.

The next adventure

Scouting Ireland describes moving to Ventures at fifteen or sixteen. Our Scouters can explain the transition for your Youth Member.
