A Scout Province is an administrative division within Scouting Ireland. Each province comprises a number of Scout Counties, which are mobilised and coordinated to combine their resources for the improvement of Scouting at a local level. They are based on a geographical area of reasonable distance and the National Management Committee determines their boundaries. The Scout Province is organised and
administered by the Provincial Management/Support Team (PMST). The primary role of the Scout Province is to support scouting at local level by assisting and supporting Scout Counties in fulfilling their role and by assisting in the making of Scouting Ireland’s policies and ensuring that these policies are carried out. Southern Scout Province was formed on January 1, 2004 after the two original Scout associations in Ireland, Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (CSI) merged to form Scouting Ireland. The current Provincial Commissioner is Michael Dempsey. There are 8 counties in the Province. Cois Laoi Chorcaí Scout County
