Well if you’ve been following our social media pages (Facebook & Instragam) you’ll see by now that the return journey from Switzerland to Cork is well underway!
All going well we are still on track to be back in the Grange/Frankfield Church carpark for 20:00 on Tuesday 23rd
Any updates or changes to that time will be posted on our social media pages and on this website when we can
Hi All,
While we’re away, we have an emergency contact number. This is:
Can we stress that this is an EMERGENCY number? We’re all going to be busy keeping everything going – so really can’t handle lot’s of “how’s my darling getting on?” calls as well! ????
We’ll try to have this number available at all times, but can’t guarantee constant coverage. Also, the email address camp19@douglasscouts.ie will be maintained & checked on an ongoing basis.
Keep an eye here on the website too. We hope to have regular updates on how things are going!
The gear list hasn’t changed in the last while, but is worth checking over to see if you’ve everything you need.
As ever, any queries or thoughts to camp19@douglasscouts.ie

There are still a small few people with stuff to had up. (Passports, EHIC Cards, Consent forms, Camp Bank).
There will be somebody at the hall next Tuesday night @ 8pm to collect these items. But not for long – so please aim to be there at 8.
We have been asked if somebody could bring an atm card instead. We HUGELY say don’t risk it to this!! There are not a lot of ATM’s in the area, and those that are there sometimes don’t “play nicely” with “foreign” cards. Make it cash – and hand it up to camp bank for safekeeping. (Next Tuesday night – 8pm).
Keep an eye here on the website – it’s where any & all updates are going, and there WILL be updates!

It might be a good idea to start getting things together – rather than the usual rush at the last minute!
Things you will need are:
Just for information, there are NOT clothes washing facilities in the chalet. As far as we know there are no launderette facilities anywhere in the vicinity – so either have enough of clothes for the duration or be prepared to do a hand wash yourself!
The two types of bag are important and worth considering. The main rucksacks will be going onto the coach before we leave Cork, and will not be available again until we get to Switzerland. So everything needed for the journey will have to be packed in the day bag. We would recommend that this would at least contain:
If it’s small enough, it might be nice to have the sleeping bag in the day bag? While not essential, it would add to the comfort on the journey, both on the coach, and possibly on the ships.
That’s about it for now.
PLEASE keep checking this website. All new information will go up here. Travel information will go up here. Also, we would anticipate that the “gear list” above will be changed / added to. If that happens, you’ll read about it here!

Hi All – just a few things as an update…

Remember – Meetings for everyone going to camp, easy Wednesday night 7pm to 8pm.

Good afternoon everyone,
We’re now in the last stages of camp 2019 planning and we require each Scout & Venture Scout going to complete the activities consent form.
Click here for the 2019 consent form. We have also attached the Managing Medications form which is now referenced in the consent form. Click here for the Managing Medications form.
These must be completed and handed up at the weekly pre-camp meeting next Wednesday. You can fill out the information needed for the form online, then print it off and sign it.
If you have any issues please email camp19@douglasscouts.ie
Our camp meetings will happen every Wednesday between now & departure!
We’ll be meeting, in the Scout Hall, from 7pm to 8pm.
It is important for everyone to try to get to these meetings – they’re a great chance to get to know each other – as well as chat about what’s coming up!

Hi All!
We’re a little bit early, but if you have a chance, you might give the info needed below.
While Switzerland is not a EU member, it is an EEA member & supports the EHIC Card Scheme.
Thanks,
Enda.
