Scouting history 1980 The camp was visited by the Duke of Kent who was president of the Scout Association of the United Kingdom. Chief Scouts were as follows Joseph McGough S.C. SAI (Scout Association of Ireland) 1980-1984 followed by Eoghan Lavelle 1984-1991 while Joseph Lawlor was Chief Scout for CBSI (Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland) 1980-1986 followed by Paul Ring 1986-1992. Membership of CBSI rose from just over thirty thousand in 1980 to almost thirty eight thousand by the end of the 80`s. 2/6 Limerick St Marys Four Scouts Eilis Keane, Tara Henkerborg, Ian O Flynn and Joshua Whelan attended the County Orienteering Day in Curraghchase last Sunday. Having got up early and miss out on their Sunday morning beauty sleep or should I say lie in its no wonder they were tired before noon and could not wait to get home. Being up till about 4 am talking the night before on the other hand had nothing to do with this. The weather added to what can only be described as a fun filled morning.
At last Friday evenings scout meeting Ian O Flynn was presented with his explorer Badge along with the following merit badges entertainer, orienteer, public health and camp chef. Preparations are continuing for the upcoming Scouts Own / Investiture being planned by the scouts themselves.
