🌿🐾 Adventure Day at Fermanagh Fun Farm! 🐴✨

We went on a trip to Fermanagh Fun Farm CIC today, and what an enjoyable day it was! 😄

From the moment we arrived, everyone got stuck in enjoying the chance to pet and feed a variety of friendly animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hens, ducks, goats and even a pig with scary teeth! 🐇🐓🐐🐖 The fun didn’t stop there, as the boys also had the opportunity to brush and lead the ponies, showing great care and confidence. 🐴💚

A real highlight of the day was the exciting Viking display—packed with action and history. ⚔️🛡️ The group also explored the Viking village, stepping back in time and learning all about life in the past.

It was a day full of learning, laughter, and hands-on fun—making memories that will last a long time! 🌟

A big thank you to Fermanagh Fun Farm for such a brilliant experience. 🙌

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, once I caught a fish alive! 🎣😄

A perfect way to sum up our evening at Annaginny Fishery & Park Farm! Our scouts had a fantastic time by the water, enjoying the outdoors, sharing plenty of laughs, and learning the art of patience. 🌿

The fish may have been a little elusive, but we were thrilled to reel in one great catch 🐟—and it didn’t go to waste… it was enjoyed for breakfast this morning! 🍳

A great example of making the most of the adventure from start to finish. Moments like this remind us what scouting is all about: teamwork, new experiences, and a bit of fun along the way. 🌟
Well done to everyone who took part!

What a brilliant night for our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts!
Tanya from Clayful Minds Tanya joined us for a hands‑on modelling session, and everyone created their very own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Each one turned out completely unique — full of personality, colour and creativity.

Huge thank you to Tanya for inspiring our young people and filling the room with excitement and imagination. Cowabunga!

Today, 1st Ballygawley Scout Group proudly celebrates **Founder’s Day** – a special day in Scouting when we remember and honour our founder, Robert Baden-Powell.

Founder’s Day marks his birthday, 22nd February, and gives Scouts across the world the opportunity to reflect on the values he inspired – friendship, adventure, service, leadership and community spirit. 🌍⚜️

Here in Ballygawley, we are incredibly proud of our young people who live out the Scout Promise every week – learning new skills, supporting one another, taking on challenges, and giving back to our local community. From Beavers to Cubs and Scouts, each section continues the legacy that began over a century ago.

Today we celebrate not only our founder, but also the leaders, volunteers, parents and, most importantly, our amazing young people who make 1st Ballygawley Scout Group such a vibrant and positive part of our community.

Happy Founder’s Day to Scouts everywhere! ⚜️💜
