This will involve the scouts hiking in teams of 4 on the Galtee Mountains.
Once the hiking section is complete the scouts will then complete a number of bases before heading to bed in Kings Yard. We will not be staying on the mountains but rather staying in Kings yard close to the base.
We will break camp on the Sunday and head for home. We will be travelling by mini bus to and from Kings Yard.
We will be leaving from Blackrock Scout Hall at 7.30am on Saturday, 1st October and Scouts can be collected again on Sunday, the 2nd, at 1pm approx. The cost for the overnight is €20 per scout. Scouts will need the following to be able to go on the weekend:
- Sturdy Hiking Boots
