I've just finished my time with the 5th Donegal group, I might do the leadership training and start up a group of rovers in uni, the Ursprung jamboree in Austria was mighty enough craic, the beer being cheaper than the water...

Hey there!

New(ish) to Boards, but thought I would give my woggles worth!

I was a Brownie, Guide and Ranger (Celbridge IGG) and now after a huge gap, am back as a Guide Leader in Sallins (IGG).

Just back since Monday after a brilliant trip in Austria with Jeka Holidays.

Was looking at pictures of Camp Cairde 1996 in Ballyfin the other week, fond memories... looking forward to International Camp in 2012........

I forgot how much you gain from being involved in Guides/Scouts, and Im kind of raging I had that 10 year gap!!

Just found this now,

I'm currently a scout leader with the 153rd Lusk Group, been in it all the way up from beavers

[RIRI]

I was a guide, Ranger, Young Leader with Hilltown & River Valley IGG. After many years away am now training as an assistant leader with St Finians IGG (Brownies) we're setting up a guide unit in January - can't wait for it.

I think it's fantastic that there's so many who come back to guiding/scouting after many years away.

I never went to either girlguides or scouts as a child, but joined as a leader with my daughter last Sptember, she's loving it and should be swimming up to cubs this year.

Funny that, I have a brother called Adam who was also a leader in the 48th, one of three brothers who went through the ranks of the 48th. Myself, I was a cub, scout, then cub leader for about 4 years. I missed many a European game on a Wednesday night to attend cubs as a leader!

I will get back into it some day, maybe when my kids are old enough to go, assuming they want to...

I firmly believe that Scouting is a great foundation for any kid to learn teamwork, discipline, individual skills and leadership. You learn to fend for yourself, but also that you can rely on others. It gets kids out of the house, away from the games machine, without the need for sporting prowess that is usually a part of youth activities...
