As part of a Scouting Ireland initiative to get Beavers, Cubs and Scouts on the water the 19th Galway Beavers attend a Kayaking session on Sunday 19th May in Rusheen Bay. The Beavers got to go Kayaking and enjoy some time on the water. Afterwards everyone got a lovely BBQ.

On Saturday January 23rd the 19th Galway Athenry Beavers, Scouts and Friends in conjunction with the Athenry Tidy Town committee worked very hard in planting over 500 flowering bulbs along the roads entering the town.
During the day the Beavers learned all about the aims of the Athenry Tidy Town Committe, the very hard work they perform and how they are working very hard in changing Athenry for the better for all the people that live in Athenry and visit our town. The Beavers had a great time meeting the Tidy Town Committee learning their names and having some fun. Full set of photographs.
A big thank you to Woodies, Wellpark, Galway for supplying the bulbs.
