A big thank you to John Cradock Ltd for their support in helping relocate our equipment container to its new home on site last Friday.

Thanks also to the Kilcullen Diary for the feature and continued support in sharing news from our local Scouting community.

We really appreciate the continued support from local businesses, schools, families, and the wider community that helps make Scouting possible for our young people.

Massive Bravo to Tara on being appointed Camp Chief for Jamboree 2028!

A huge achievement and so well deserved, we are so proud to have one of 9th Kildare leading the way 🫶

The National Assembly was the perfect opportunity to introduce Tara McGrath as the Camp Chief for Jamboree 2028.

Tara was found through the Open Call process and I have no doubt she will be excellent. We now need a Core Team that will support her in driving this event on and making Jamboree 2028 one for the history books.

The Core Team Expression of Interest went live today. Please consider applying if you have the time, passion and willingness.

Today, we celebrate the strength, courage, and leadership of every girl and woman in Scouting. To the young girls learning to tie their first knots, light their first campfires, and raise their voices with confidence, you are the future leaders of our world.
To the young women leading patrols, mentoring others, and stepping boldly into challenges, you are proof that leadership has no limits.
Scouting teaches resilience, teamwork, adventure, and service and you embody all of these with determination and heart.
On this International Women’s Day, remember:
Your voice matters.
Your leadership is powerful.
Your kindness creates change.
Your potential is limitless.
Keep exploring.
Keep leading.
Keep lifting others as you climb. The world needs your light.

Happy International Women’s Day to every incredible woman and girl in Scouting Ireland.

Huge congratulations to Amelie who represented 9th Kildare at the finals of the South East Super Star Awards at the South East Provincial Conference in Kilashee ✨👏

Being nominated for the Spirit of Scouting Award at a Provincial level is an incredible achievement and we are delighted to see her recognised at this level and could not be prouder of her. While she didn’t take home the award on the day, she will always be a winner in our eyes and we are so proud of all that she brings to 9th Kildare 🫶

A fantastic day in Donadea Forest & Park celebrating Founders Day with South Kildare Scout County ⚜️🌲

We also took the opportunity to formally invest nine of our youth members into the Beaver and Cub sections, a really special moment for them and for our group!

A huge thank you to everyone at County level who organised such a brilliant event and made the day possible for all our young people.

Flipping fantastic fun this Pancake Tuesday 🥞🎉

This week our Beavers and Cubs got stuck in making (and tasting!) their own pancakes!
