It is with sincere gratitude that we remember Mrs Mary Clements, a much-loved member of our local community who was a wonderful supporter of Scouting and the Kilcullen Scout Troop.

Following Mary’s passing, she very generously left a donation to our Scout Troop. In her memory, we have used a portion of this kind gift to purchase an AED for our Scout Den.

In honour of Mrs Clements and her generosity, we have affectionately named our new AED Mary

Mrs Clements’ support will leave a lasting legacy within our Scout Group, helping us to provide a safer environment for our young people, volunteers and the wider community who use our Den.

On behalf of everyone at 9th Kildare Kilcullen Scout Group, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs Clements for her kindness and generosity. We hope that naming our AED in her honour will ensure that her name and memory remain part of our Scouting family for many years to come.

Kilcullen Diary Scouting Ireland

We’ve just spent an amazing weekend at Larch Hill Scout Centre for the South Kildare County Camp.

We got incredibly lucky with Saturday’s weather, and our Beavers and Cubs had a brilliant day filled with archery, catapults and backwoods activities. Our Scouts took on the Horseshoe Loop, completing activities along the way, while our Ventures got stuck into building their very own trebuchets!

Saturday night was topped off with a fantastic County campfire and disco. And, of course, 9th Kildare had to have a campfire of our own, complete with plenty of s’mores!

Sunday morning was certainly a little damp with tired faces and soggy clothes but spirits stayed high. Safe to say the weekend was enjoyed by all.

A huge thank you to all of the South Kildare County team for all the hard work that went into organising and running such a fantastic weekend.

A huge thank you to Kilcullen Diary for joining us at our end-of-year BBQ and for sharing these great photos from the evening.

It was fantastic to see so many of our youth members, parents and families come together to celebrate another successful year of Scouting. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to recognise the achievements of our young people and present them with the badges they worked so hard to earn throughout the year.

A special thank you to Nolans of Kilcullen for the fantastic burgers and sausages that kept everyone well fed!

Finally, thank you to all of our youth members for their enthusiasm, commitment and Scout spirit, and to our dedicated team of adult Scouters who give so generously of their time each week. You are what makes our Group such a special place, and we’re already looking forward to another great year of adventures together.

Our Scouts had an incredible time camping in Portlick Scout Campsite, making the most of a packed weekend!

The programme included a fantastic mix of activities, including kayaking, hiking, a fishing trip, archery and crate stacking. The Scouts also put their skills to the test in a Ready Steady Cook challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity in the kitchen!

Of course, no camp would be complete without a classic campfire to round off the evenings, filled with songs, s’mores and plenty of laughs.

Safe to say it was a weekend full of fun!

Our Beavers had an exciting morning at Blessington Lakes with Water Safety Ireland learning valuable water safety skills while having plenty of fun along the way.

After a busy morning, we finished up with some well-earned hot chocolates to warm everyone back up!

A huge thank you to Water Safety Kildare for such a fantastic session. The Beavers had a brilliant time and came away having learned so much!
