On Duty in Gilwell Park

The Malahide Friday night troop took over 40 scouts and leaders on their annual camp to Gilwell Park, North London. An International scout centre bought in 1919 for Scout Association of Great Britain and Ireland to give local camping for London scouts and be both a training and activity centre.

The 109 acre site was great base for the Malahide troop to explore the centres activities and take trips into London’s many historical sites. Not distracted by the much awaited birth of the heir to the British throne the scouts took out time to attend cleaning the plate on the bust of the founder of Sea Scouting in 1912 by Warington Baden Powell. The bust had been erected in Gilwell Park in June 2012 as part of the celebration of the centenary of Sea Scouting.
