Hi all,

Tonight we continued with the Chief Scout Award, Emergencies Stage 1 and 2 and discussed the trip to Belfast.

For all those working on the CSA please start thinking of you Special Interest badges.

For all those doing the Emergences badges you will need to have a list of what should go in a personal first aid kit.
Check you have a first aid kit at home, know where it is and check the contents.

Remember if you don’t have the work done you won’t get the badge.

We did some footdrill in preparation for the St.Patrick’s Day parade (more on that next week)

Anyone travelling to Belfast please have your €50 in as soon as possible.

We finished as always with Grand Howl and headed home.
