First Port Galway Sea Scouts

Galways First Port Sea Scouts are being re-activated and will be part of Scouting Ireland www.scouts.ie

Plans are for the Group to be based in the Ocean Sports Centre

It is hoped to start with a Scouts and Cub-Scouts.

Scouts ages 12yrs to 15yrs

Cub Scouts,ages 9yrs to 11yrs.

The Aim of Sea Scouting and the method of achieving that Aim are the same as elsewhere within Scouting. In Sea Scouting, water is as essential a training and Boating, waterborne activities and expeditions are integral parts of the Programme. Sea Scouts also go hiking, mountain walking and camping, just like other Scouts. The Sea Scout training scheme is a fully integrated and balanced programme of sea and land activities, and Sea Scout Troops have a very good reputation of involvement in all Scouting activities and events.

At this stage we are interested in hearing from adults interested in being involved.
