This year Scouting Ireland is celebrating 100 years of Cub Scouting and 40 years of Beaver Scouting. To celebrate this anniversary Scouting Ireland held a Jamboree, Jamoige for 3,500 Cubs and Beavers in PallasKenry, Co  Limerick from Friday 3rd June to Monday 6th June 2015.

The 19th Galway Athenry Cubs attended the event with 17 Cubs and 8 Scouters attending. They had a blast with a full weekend oo Scouting activities provided.  The Athenry cubs where based in Sub-Camp Eskimo and the designed a game and fancy dress around this theme.

The Cubs returned on Monday afternoon at 4:45 tired but super excited about the “best camp” ever. Well done to all.

Cub Chief Scout Camp

Well done to all those Cubs who attend the recent Cub Chief Scout Camp over the weekend of April 22nd to April 24th. This camp was a required part of the Cubs Chief Scout Award and allowed the cubs to plan and partake in Camp with other cubs undertaking the Chief Scout Award.

As part of the award the Cubs had to cook a meal in a bucket which was then tasted by a team of tasters.

The Chief Scout can to visit and spent time with each group and departed to the sound of a grand howl.

Cubs visit a farm

The cubs had a great visit to the Cummins Dairy Farm, DerryDonnell on Tuesday 8th March. All of the cubs were kitted out in their wellies and hats. Everyone had a great time watching and feeding the animals. Some of the Scouters had a go as well, even those who grew up on a farm.
