What a fantastic June Bank Holiday weekend we had at the Clare Scout Water Weekend! It was a busy and action-packed few days with 62 young people and their Scout leaders taking part in sailing, kayaking, hiking, pier jumping, crab fishing, BBQs, campfires and plenty of singing. The group camped locally for the weekend and also enjoyed a memorable trip to Scattery Island.

A huge thank you to all the leaders, volunteers and supporters who helped make the weekend such a success, and thanks to our own instructors and assistants Karl, Tara, Mike and Muireann. Most importantly, well done to all the young people who embraced every adventure and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Already looking forward to next year! ⛵️🛶😊 Clare Scout Centre Ruan Kilrush Marina, Scattery Island Tours, Clare County Council Kilrush Town
