Swords Scouts
Swords 49/136th scout group.
We currently have two
Beaver and Cub sections, one Scout, Venture and Rover section running every week.
The 136th cubs had a great weekend in LoughDan Scout Centre working on their hillwalking and air activity badges, hiking to the top of Kanturk 527m and then onto Scarr nortwest 560m followed by Scarr 641m with a total of 9.5km hike, a massive achivement for all the cubs. The weather gods even shone down on us keeping the bad weather away until the Sunday morning when we were due to go home.
136th beavers spent today at The Phoenix Park exploring the wonders of nature, meeting some of the deer and accompanied by the man himself Michael D Higgins!! Unfortunately the opportunity to meet our President in the flesh didn't arise however our cuddly version was escorted around the park and very well looked after by the beavers. Sore legs all round tonight but a great achievement of over 11km and a little bit of learning along the way 🙏⚜️
A big well done to our 136th cub Scouts on completing their 20km hike today. From our den in Swords through Malahide Castle and down to Portmarnock beach for lunch and then right along the coastline through Malahide village and then Seabury and back to our den in Swords. 👏👏👏
Our Group Leader, Michael Burke receiving a cheque for €699 in Tesco, Holywell, Swords. It is with great thanks to Tesco for their generous support and their wonderful Community Fund assisting local community groups like ours. Our gratitude to everyone who contributed tokens, thanks to initiatives like this we are able to continue enriching the lives of our youth members with additional skills and confidence as they grow.
A busy finish to 2024 for the 136th cubs with a Christmas scavenger hunt around Swords then a trip to Wonderlights in Malahide Castle and then finishing up with a bowling and Lazertag evening in the Leaduredome Ashbourne. Here’s to 2025 🏕️
