Our Scouts
We are located in the heart of Cork City. We meet weekly and cover all ages groups. Our Mission: Fun. Scouting Ireland is dedicated to enabling and empowering young people to realise their potential, through its core values based on the Scout Promise and Law, fostering active citizenship and helping create a better community; society and world. Add to that FUN
