We had a super day in Portlick Scout Campsite. We enjoyed the activities, the sun, the BBQ and the ice cream.
A big thank you to Milltownpass Scouts - 9th WH for organising the day and inviting us along.

Delvins Scouts Leader Mary Rennicks was nominated for the prestigious Cathaoirleach Awards 2026 in Belvedere House and Gardens.
It was a fabulous event created by Westmeath County Council. It was all about community spirit and local involvement.
Mary has dedicated years to Delvin Scouts and is very much appreciated for everything that she does.
Mary might have not won the award but she is an absolute winner in our eyes and her time and involvement in the local community speaks for themselves. We are so lucky to have such wonderful dedicated leaders in our community.
Well done Mary 👏👏👏

What an amazing weekend for our scouts. ⛺ Camped in Athlone for 2 nights. They braved the cold nights, had fun filled days and made some new friends. ⛺ That's what camping is all about - and ofcourse setting up their own tents, washing their dishes, making their food. These are memories that will last.
Also well done to some cubs who camped for the first time ever. Super stuff 👍
