Buncrana Scout group to begin soon 25.03.08

A new Scouts group is expected to be up and running in Buncrana by the Summer.
The group is being organised by Kevin Ferguson who is the development support officer for Scouting Ireland in the North West.
He is due to hold a second meeting shortly with families who turned up at an exploratory session before Christmas.
"We had hoped for a bigger turn-out at the first meeting but the people who were there brought the message back to their friends so we've decided that we will start out with two groups in the younger age category first. We will have Beavers aged from six years to eight years and Cubs from nine years to eleven," explained Malin-based Kevin. "From that, we would expect the group to grow as the children get older and younger ones join." Inishowen already has three very active Scout groups in Carndonagh, Muff and Quigley's Point. A Scout group is made up of four sections - Beavers, Cubs, Scouts aged 11 to16 years and Venture Scouts aged 16 to 21 years. Scouting Ireland is a cross-community organisation with around 40,000 members throughout the country. If you missed the first meeting in Buncrana last year and would like to attend the next, you can contact Kevin for more details on 0863569012.
