Are you interested in becoming a Leader?
As our waiting list has grown considerably in the last few months, we are currently reviewing our options to open another Beaver Section in September 2018. To do this we would require additional Scouters (Leaders) to ensure we can continue to deliver a quality Scouting Programme to a growing group of youth members. To become a Scouter with Scouting Ireland, no previous experience is necessary and full training will be provided by Scouting Ireland and our team of volunteer trainers. Rewarding, memorable, enjoyable, heart-warming are a few words that come to mind whilst reflecting on my time as a Scouter. If you are interested in becoming a Scouter with Blackrock Scouts in any section (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts) please send the following information by email: - Name: - Date of Birth: - Personal Email: "The immense pleasure of seeing individuals develop and grow in spiritual, mental and physical capabilities over the years. A friendly guide to life, the Scouters circle of friends grows over the years, enriched by the memories of many hikes and camps." *Notice for Scouts* (Thursday Nights)
