The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10 to 11 and 15 years. (changing to 12 to 15 yrs at present.  Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes.

A Scout Troop is organized into ‘Patrols’ with Patrol Leaders (PLs) and Assistant Patrol Leaders (APLs) guiding and supporting their fellow scouts.  Our Patrols are the KESTREL, STAG and SPARROW Patrols

Our Scout Leaders are Liam Disney (Section Leader), Paul Fitzgibbon, Clare Young, Ciara Fitzgibbon and Jim Lawlor.  We meet on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:00 n St Kevin’s GAA Hall.
