🧁Scones baked on an open fire by our Cubs! ⚜️

This week our Cubs started their backwoods adventure by making scones with flour, milk, butter and raisins!

These tasty treats were made by all the Cubs and placed into Dutch oven cooking pot and placed into an open fire to bake for about 20-30mins.

The finished product was then finished with butter, jam and cream for really tasty treat!

A huge thank you to Scouter Stephen Whiteley and to all our amazing adult volunteer Scouters who helped make this happen.

We are always looking for new Adult Volunteers - get in touch if want to join in our adventures!

🥾🥾 What an achievement for our Cubs! ⚜️

Today, our Cubs took on one of the biggest challenges on their journey towards the Cub Scout Chief Scout Award — a 20km hike around the Curragh Plains!

Setting off at 8am and finishing before 1pm, they showed fantastic determination, resilience and teamwork, with some well-earned rest breaks and a very welcome burger at the halfway point! 🍔

The Chief Scout Award involves a minimum of six months of commitment, completing Special Interest Badges across Skills, Physical, Community and Environment, developing Adventure Skills, and taking part in a residential or intercultural experience.

Today's hike was their penultimate hurdle!

This has been a real team effort, from our adult volunteer Scouters getting the process started, to the Cubs creating their own personal plans and working hard to achieve their goals. We couldn't be prouder of what they have accomplished.

A huge thank you to our Cubs for their commitment, their parents and families for their support, and especially to all our amazing adult volunteer Scouters who helped make this happen. There are too many to name, but your time and dedication are very much appreciated. 💚

Well done, Cubs — we look forward to presenting your CSA Certificates soon! 🏕️🥾

Beavers meet Kildare Wildlife Rescue

Thank you to Alice from Kildare Wildlife Rescue who visited our Beaver Scout group this week and told us about the incredible work they do.

The Beavers were amazed at the number of wild animals they rescue every year and were curious to hear stories about rescuing herons, hedgehogs & starlings, and of course they loved trying out their own rescue skills!

Our Beavers brought in donations of cat & dog food, sheets, towels & newspapers, all of which will be used to care for sick or injured wildlife.

Three Scouts Graduate from the Washington Ireland Program Academy

Congrats to our adult volunteer scouter Aaron Kennedy who graduated along with two others.

Three members of Scouting Ireland graduated from this year's WIP Academy, part of the Washington Ireland Program: Aaron Kennedy from 4th Kildare (Kildare Town), Áine Kane from 5th Dublin (1st Port Ringsend Sea Scouts) and Odhrán Doyle from 6th Tyrone (Cookstown).

This partnership continues to provide a fantastic opportunity for young people, and we are delighted to see its impact growing. Our involvement began last year when Rachel McCay from 23rd Antrim (Derriaghy) graduated from the Academy. Building on that success, we expanded our cohort to three participants this year and hope to support even more Scouts to take part in the programme next year.

🇮🇪 4th Kildare Town Scout Group – Germany 2026 🇩🇪

What an incredible adventure! 🏕️🌍

From 30 July to 9 August 2026, over 20 members of 4th Kildare Scout Group travelled to Germany to take part in the BdP Bundeslager National Jamboree 2026 – and what an experience it was!

Our group was made up largely of our Rovers and Ventures, along with one Scout, who were accompanied by four dedicated adult Scouters. These volunteers gave up their own annual leave and time with their families to make this opportunity possible for our young people – and we cannot thank them enough. 👏 Elaine, Emma, Aaron & Georgina!

From camping and activities to meeting Scouts from different countries, making new friends and experiencing the atmosphere of an international jamboree, a fantastic time was had by all. 🇩🇪🤝🇮🇪

A huge thank you to Kildare Credit Union Limited for supporting our journey through their Community Grant. Their funding helped us arrange a bus to transport the group to and from the airport, reducing the number of cars needed and helping us make the journey in a more environmentally friendly way. 🌱🚌

This trip is exactly what Scouting is about – adventure, friendship, independence, teamwork and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

A massive well done to all our young people who represented 4th Kildare Town so brilliantly, and to our adult volunteers who made it all possible.

Be Prepared. Go Further. Make Memories. 💚⚜️

A huge thank you to Jim Connolly's Pharmacy, Kildare Town, for generously sponsoring the discount on a new first aid kit for 4th Kildare Town Scout Group.

This vital equipment will accompany our Venture Scouts and Rover Scouts as they travel to the Scout Jamboree in Germany this week, helping to ensure they are well prepared for any minor injuries or emergencies throughout their adventure.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of local businesses like Jim Connolly's Pharmacy, whose generosity helps keep our young people safe while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for supporting Scouting and investing in our community. 👏
