The excitement is building as we fast approach our departure date for Camp 2015. Castle Saunderson awaits!!
An email has gone to all parents involved a short while ago with a few reminders and we’ll all meet tomorrow night (Wednesday 24th) in the Scout Hall at 19:00 for one hour to sort out the last bits and pieces
Gear List is as follows:
All Scouts & Venture Scouts are reminded that we travel in FULL Uniform to and from Camp. No exceptions….

Mobile Phone Policy
We are asking that Scouts & Venture Scouts DO NOT BRING their mobile phone to camp. Apart from adding to any homesick situations that may arise for first time campers it is an expensive item that will get damaged or lost. We understand that some people are going to completely ignore this request so please note the following:
- Douglas & St. FinBarres Scout Group accepts NO responsibility for any loss or damaged of a mobile phone on camp.
- Douglas & St. FinBarres Scout Group Leaders will NOT look after, mind, watch over or charge up a mobile phone for Scouts/Venture Scouts on camp.
- Any Scout or Venture Scout seen using their mobile phone while onsite will have it confiscated and only returned to them when we arrive back in Cork on July 18th (no exceptions)
