Scouting History 2000

Meetings with single agendas “One Association” were taking place throughout the country, final decisions were to be made and outstanding issues were being discussed. Scouting Ireland (SI) was agreed in June 2003. It was established by members of CSI formally CBSI (Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland) and SAI (Scout Association of Ireland) on January 1st 2004.

A membership of 30,725 now existed in Scouting Ireland (SI). The Country was divided into the following terms Provinces, Counties and Groups. From 2004 to the present the Chief Scout of Scouting Ireland is Martin Burbridge. 2005 saw a dark blue shirt and dark blue slacks being introduced as the new uniform of Scouting Ireland (SI). Here in Limerick the two operating Regions namely John Paul and Cois Sionna (Patrick Sarsfield had joined Cois Sionna some years previous) now formed the Limerick Scout County. Our scout county consists of 19 groups from Limerick City, Limerick County and County Clare. The county commissioner from its formation to the present day is Bernadette Brennan. The 20th World Scout Jamboree (“Share Our World”) took place in Sattahip, Thailand in 2003/2003 with twenty four thousand scouts in attendance.
