The Cubs meet every Tuesday night from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm, and from 7:30 pm to 8:45 pm. The Cub
Leaders are Bren and Sharon and they can be contacted by sending an email to
cubs@dalkeyscouts.ie.
Every week they play games and learn about the basics of Scouting. They
also go away on hikes and camps. There are normally three or four weekend
camps during the year and a longer week long Annual Camp during the summer. In past years
the Annual Camp has included places like
Walesby Forest in Nottingham,
Gurteen Agricultural College in Tipperary, and back in 2000
the Cubs went with the Scouts for 2 weeks to
Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland. In 2006 the Cubs
went to Killary Adventure Center in Co. Galway. In 2007
the Cubs went to Kandersteg again with the Scouts and Ventures, and they went to
Gurteen Agricultural College in 2008.
This summer we went back to Walesby Forest in Nottingham
for a week in July. We are thinking about next years camp at the moment and will let you know as
soon as we decide where we are going to go...
The Cubs normally try to hold an outdoor meeting once every 4 to 6 weeks. This can
include things like going Bowling, trips to the Cinema, going up Dalkey Hill, and
sometimes just holding the meeting in the field outside the Den. There are also County
activities through out the year, with all the other Cub Groups in the area, including
a number of competitions and quizzes...
As well as all of this there are loads of activities run for them at a National Level. Details of all
of these events can be found on the National Events
website. The website also has loads of information on skills, badges, news and there
are also some pictures. There is also a Cub section on the
Scouting Ireland web site.
