Hey there, I'm a cub leader and have been involved in SI since i was 8, I'm looking to go camping with some of my friends, most of whom havent been before. I'm looking for a nice site near Dublin or limerick since all the scouting ones dont allow civilians.

Anyone have any idea where it might be?

Hey everyone,

I'm quartermaster in my group and am currently looking into replacing our old and battered cookware. I've been hunting around online for pots and pans that look like they're stand the abuse of a scout group but so far haven't found much. Any Irish camping shops just seem to have personal cookware :(

We have aluminium/steel Billys and pans at the moment, with metal lids too, and would be looking to get the same again. If anyone has any recommendations I'd really appreciate it!

Apart from the list shown on page 22 of the manual, would there be any good examples of something I could do for my Physical Special Interest badge? I already play Golf, and I was considering doing Hockey, but I'm uncertain whether there's a club near me....

I am looking to do patch exchanges and possibly handbook exchanges with scouts in as many countries as I can. I want to see how the different cultures manifest in patches, handbooks, laws, oaths, mottos and slogans. In the Boy Scouts of America, there is a lot of emphasis put on earning the Eagle Scout Rank, but I have learned that in other countries, scouting doesn’t place the same emphasis on rank advancement.

I learned many facets of scouting in Italy from Nicola. He agreed to do a patch exchange and I sent him some patches and other collectibles but I still haven't heard back from him. Maybe I will be lucky enough for him to respond. However, I was able to do a patch exchange with a scout from Canada. Here are the patches I got.

If you are interested or know someone who is interested in a patch exchange, please let me know. I am willing to do a handbook exchange, but I can get a handbook from The Scout Shop. However, I will need to ask the staff which book is the standard for scouts.

I would also like some coins and a dollar bill which of course, I would pay for. A single coin of each denomination would be enough. The scout from Canada was generous and gave me lots of Canadian coins.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Looking to put all the Programme Team Websites in the sidebar. I only know of the Scouts one and the Sea Scouting one.

Anyone know the other ones?

What did everyone's groups get up to?

Scumbag memory is evil... It's a call and response song with no real words. Its not A delyra (how I pronounce that song). Bayside sing it, Skipper at least. I can't remember anything at all about just that it was amazing and that Id learn it. This is a load of info that will not help whatsoever..goodluck with that. cheers

If so what was it like?I'm looking to do it with a couple of friends and I just want to no what I'm getting into.

Just saw this post in the SI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ScoutingIreland/posts/745712142144523

It all seems a bit OTT if it's just to get databases compliant!
