    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about these pls? Are they one and the same? When can you join/queue to join? And when do they meet - is it week nights or on the weekend? Tia.

    there are 2 scout troops in Greystones (in addition to the Sea Scouts) - the one linked above that meets opposite the (former) La Touche hotel, and the other troop meets at the scout hall beside Topaz/Centra (on Friday evenings for cubs and scouts). There's also a troop in Delgany.

    I had the same with seascouts. It's often mentioned, the variety of clubs and activities available in the town. However , getting your kid in to one is another matter. Many are oversubscribed. The town keeps growing , other elements can't keep up. Such a shame.

    they're all voluntary, I know the Girl Guides have started a new group in Delgany due to the Greystones group being full. But all groups need extra volunteers to expand.

    As for the scouts, 1st Wicklow who meet besides Centra are back on Friday and AFAIK are not oversubscribed.

    Due high demand for places, the waiting list for Greystones Sea Scouts is currently closed.

    All enquiries to enquiries@greystonesseascouts.ie.

    I'm a sea scout leader with 18th Wicklow Sea Scouts. Due to an increasingly long waiting list we have had no choice but to temporarily close the waiting list. We are still taking names but can't guarantee a place, but please do message us and we'll put your child on the list.

    As a previous poster mentioned, it is a voluntary organisation. As leaders we give our time for free. Although we try to respond to enquiries as quickly as possible we all have jobs too, so the response time may not be as quick as we'd like.

    The reason the waiting lists are so long is that we struggle to find people who are willing to volunteer and train as scout leaders. There are strict ratios regarding leaders and kids and if we don't have leaders we can't increase numbers.

    We'd love to hear from anyone with sailing, rowing, kayaking or general scouting skills who would like to become a leader.

    Thanks for your reply. And for volunteering to do this. I appreciate you and all involved giving up your time to do this. I'm not in a position to offer any help as I cannot get beyond my knees when in water! Hence my eagerness to get my own kids into the water!!
