All our weekly section meetings have now kicked off.
With the new Scouting year comes the annual registration fee, which covers national insurance, registration with Scouting Ireland and the balance goes towards the ongoing upkeep of our hall and support to our Group.
This year registration fees are as follows:
€140 for one youth member. €260 for TWO youth members from the same family and €360 for THREE youth members or more from the same family.
All registration fees are payable online using easypaymentsplus.com. There is NO charge or cost for using this service.
We are asked that all payments of registration this year are completed by Sunday September 30th.
In addition to the registration fee, all members must have their activity consent form signed by a parent and submitted to their Scouter to allow them take part in any activity and remain at the weekly meetings.
If you have any issues or difficulty in paying please contact the Group Leader Eoin Field, in confidence, by emailing eoinfield@douglasscouts.ie

Hi All,
The coach for Camp 2019 is now full!
PLEASE don’t panic if you’d like to go to Adelboden with us. Fill in the form here as before. This form will now add your name to the waiting list. Any places that come free on the coach, will be offered to people strictly in the order that they were added to the waiting list.
As we’ve said (many times!) before, we’ll try to find a way to get everyone to camp that wants to go there. While there are no guarantees, we’ll really try to make this happen. The more the merrier!
As ever, any queries to camp19@douglasscouts.ie
