Scouting Ireland regret to inform all members, that from this point forward, all camping activities are prohibited.
This decision has not been taken lightly, and is after long protracted discussions with our Health and Safety consultants over the last few months.
We would hope to be able to to reverse this decision as soon as possible, but at this stage cannot anticipate when this will be.
In the meantime, we’d like to encourage all Sections and Troops to continue with their Scouting programme’s as much as possible. Some suggestions might be:
- Indoor accommodations in the various hostels available around the country. (Please remember to adhere to all the associations Safeguarding policies).
- Stay in your own Scout Den? Or others? (Assuming of course that they comply with fire safety regulations.)
- Plan overnight hikes? (Once you don’t plan on camping during the hike).
- Look out for cheap hotel deals?
We trust that you’ll bear with us during this difficult time. And remember, keep the OUT in SCOUTING.
