It’s important that all our scouts attend as our enlarged group has a special connection with the location. It’s both the head waters of the River Lee and where St Finbarr, patron saint of Cork City, founded a monastery before founding another one at the mouth of the Lee which directly led to the founding of Cork City.
Depending on conditions we may have the investiture ceremony during the hike or immediately after.
At the end we will have some cooked food for our scouts and some sections are planning badge giving.
