Volunteer Scouters from Malahide, Reachra County and surrounds at our last recent ‘Welcome to Scouting’

The last course of Welcome to Scouting in its present format came to an end on Thursday 4th February 2016 . Started back in the late nineties under our former association (Scout Association of Ireland) training scheme a  video of a  duration of about 45 minutes was shown too new potential volunteers. Given details about becoming a volunteer the video covered information about scouting and a schedule on further training .Narrated by Andrew Kelly of  communications in  SAI  was a well produced and gave potential volunteers a insight into the workings of scouting. The course was updated and became more interactive  when Scouting Ireland was formed back in 2004 ,but still retained the title ‘Welcome to Scouting’.

In the period of almost 20 years the training team of Malahide have trained  up to 320 volunteers into the 9th Port Malahide .When  the course was extended  to cover Reachra County and  surrounds a total of  920 volunteers have been trained . This is great credit to the training team in Malahide .Our thanks goes to Stephanie Mc Cann, Anna Hickey , Kevin Rowan ,Elaine Dunne, Stephen O’Reilly and of course to all those volunteers who turned up to the courses .
