September 2014
The Cubs had a very interesting and enjoyable visit to both the fire Station and Garda Headquarters in Cork City. They learned all about the workings of both and got to experience first hand the use of some of the very important pieces of equipment used by firefighters.
As part of the Chief Cub Scout Award, the participants took part in their Community Project this month by cleaning the front wall of Scoil Iosagin.
A great evening was enjoyed by all when the Irish Coast Guard Station welcomed the Beaver Scouts to their station at Guileen. The Beavers really enjoyed the activities organised by the coast guard team, which were informative and fun. They learned new emergency skills, got to try on the emergency gear and also got to take part in their own rescue search .
Scout section had their first camp of the year in Brinny.
16 scouts braved the gale force winds, driving rain and bitter cold.
These are some of the activities they got up to.
Beaver Scouts from the County came to visit Aghada Community Hall on Sun 22nd Feb for a fun filled and action packed morning of learning new scout skills that was enjoyed by all. Skills included orienteering, pioneering, first aid, parachute building, first aid and crime scene (csi) scenarios.

Despite the inclement weather, all of the Beavers had a great night when we visited both the Garda and Fire Stations in Midleton.
Apart from fingerprinting the beavers and spending some time in the cells and interview rooms at the garda station, there was great intrigue in the effects of a chip pan fire at the fire station and climbing through the fire engines.
