Both of our Beaver Scout colonies are going to finish off this Scouting year with a unique experience and going to visit Spike Island and get to explore some of Fort Mitchell which was the old fort and prison on the island.
When?
- Sunday June 16th
- Departing i.e. leaving by boat at 10am from the pier at Monkstown (by the Bosun Bar)
- Arriving back to the same spot at approx. 3:30pm
How Much?
- €10 per Beaver Scout (includes ferry trip to the island and we’re going to cook some hot food while we’re out there)
What to bring?
- No need for Uniform but kneckerchief is a must… No Kneckerchief, no entry onto the boat, no exceptions!!
- A small packed lunch i.e. Roll or sandwich and should include a drink and some fruit
- A small bottle of water (sports bottle, 1ltr size, to keep hydrated during the day)
- Sunscreen! Have it on already… you just never know!
- Rainjacket and sweater – Judge the weather yourself on the morning if possible
- All of the above should be packed in a small carrier bag/rucksack (the Beavers will be carrying it themselves, the leaders will not)
