We are after some pallets for an upcoming project. If you have any, or know the whereabouts of any weโ€™d be very grateful. Thank you!

This beautiful picture captures it perfectly. While the scouts are busy with their maps and ropes, it's Mum who has the keys, the first-aid kit, and knows where we're actually going! ๐Ÿคญ

We love the quote on this image: "๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’„๐’‚๐’–๐’”๐’† ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’Ž๐’–๐’Ž๐’”, ๐’˜๐’† ๐’˜๐’๐’โœ๐’• ๐’ˆ๐’†๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’Œ๐’Š๐’…๐’”." From being the logistics managers to the ultimate cheer squad, you make every Kilkenny ESU adventures possible.

Thank you for your endless support, love, and for getting the kids (and sometimes us!) where we need to be. ๐Ÿฅฐ

โœจ Christmas Candle-Making with Kilkenny Explorers! โœจ

Our Explorers have been getting creative this week as they hand-poured their very own Christmas candles! From melting and mixing to choosing festive scents and colours, they threw themselves into the process and produced some fantastic results.

Itโ€™s a brilliant seasonal activity that builds practical skills, encourages teamwork and gives them something handmade and personal to take home for the holidays. The unit room smelt incredible too!

A huge well done to everyone involved โ€” the candles look amazing and the enthusiasm was even better. ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

More festive activities coming soon as we count down to Christmas!

Tonight the Kilkenny Explorers spent an evening down by the River Yeo putting their teamwork and Scouting skills to the test. Armed with barrels, wooden stakes and plenty of rope, the challenge was simple: build a raft strong enough to carry the team out onto the water.

Working in small groups, the Explorers drew on their knot-tying knowledge and creative thinking to lash their constructions together. Some rafts looked sturdy from the start, while others needed a quick rebuild before they were river-ready! Once afloat, it was all about balance, teamwork and plenty of laughter as they paddled, raced and sometimes wobbled their way across the Yeo.

It was the perfect mix of skill, problem-solving and good funโ€”an evening that showed just how much the Explorers can achieve when they work together
