Meetings
Weekly in Frankfield. We share the details when you get in touch.
What scouts do
Weekly meetings mix games with hands-on skills, then scouts put those skills to use outdoors on hikes, camps and at competitions.
- Camping and hiking, from day hikes to weekends under canvas
- Pioneering: knots, lashings and building with poles and rope
- Fire lighting and backwoods cooking
- First aid, map reading and navigation
- County and national competitions, including the Cork Shield and the Phoenix Challenge
The patrol system
Each scout belongs to a patrol of around six, led by a Patrol Leader and an Assistant Patrol Leader. Older scouts teach younger ones, and everyone gets a turn at taking responsibility.
