Several NI Scout Groups recently took advantage of a workshop we ran to support them in their EA re-verification and registration for the incoming financial year 💻 We received excellent feedback from all present that this was a worthwhile exercise.
In addition, we were able to distribute some of the resource packs that the SFNI supplied thanks to EA funding 🪀

This workshop will support Scout Groups in completing their annual registration with the Education Authority. Many groups struggle with the EA terminology and gathering the information required, so this workshop will support you through every step of registration so that you can have it successfully completed in one evening. This workshop will be supported by volunteers and staff from Scouting Ireland and Scout Foundation NI. A complimentary dinner will be served to all in attendance
We also have some goodies for each scout group that will be given out at the workshop
