Raft Building

25 Scouts, pioneering poles, lashings, barrels - a sure recipe for a good Sea Scout activity. After the raft-building, we had a raft race and finished off with a quick dip!

Boating - Both Troops on a Trip to the Beach

A sunny day, a spring tide, ten brand new kayaks (thanks to the Parents & Friends Committee!) - three great reasons for a trip. A good day had by all 38 scouts from the Wednesday Troop and the Valkyries Troop.

Bull Island Hike

Our hike included a visit to the Bull Island Interpretative Centre, wildlife photography, a sleet-and-sand storm and dune-jumping!

DV Memorial Hike

This year's DV Memorial Hike attracted the biggest attendance to date - 90 Scouts, Ventures, Leaders, former Scouts, family members and friends.

Potato Cake Making

Crows Nest Official Re-Opening

After many years of hard work by scouts, families and supporters, the new Crows Nest was officially opened by our youngest scout Lily Morrissey and our oldest scout Eoghan Lavelle. The event was a great success, helped by our friends from the De La Salle Scout Pipe Band from Waterford and by the Irish Coast Guard helicopter. The day also included the Lord Mayor's Cup skiff race which was won by the Wednesday Troop.

Fry Cup

After a gap of eight years, the Fry Cup returned to the Troop. Well done to the team of Hugh McNally (Cox), Conor Fagan, Niall Conway, Luke Nolan, Naoise Dack and James O'Gorman.
