Welcome

Welcome to Dalkey Sea Scouts on line.

Dalkey Sea Scouts is a part of Scouting Ireland which is a member of the World Organisation of the scouting movement (WOSM). Modern scouting is all about getting out there, developing new skills such as sailing, swimming, hiking, leadership and enjoying  it.

Scouting is no longer about ceremony and “Dib-Dib-Dib” anymore.  It’s about sharing activities with people of your own age and interest and the world of scouting will enable you to do what you want, when you want to.

Helping you on your way in Dalkey Sea Scouts is a team of adventurous and interesting experts known as Scouters.  These Leaders are there to assist you in planning and the development of your skill base along the lines of what you want to do.

Our Scouter team includes experts in Kayaking, Sailing, Rowing, Hiking, Logistics, Power Boating, Camping, Photography to name but a few areas and the members of Dalkey Sea Scouts have opportunities to meet new people with the same interests outside of such formal settings as school or college.

I have been a scout for twenty years now and in that time I have  camped, hiked, orienteered, navigated and sailed for thousands of miles around Ireland’s coast and inland waterways. I have skied in the Swiss Alps, paraglided from 1000m cliff faces and kayaked down rivers. Most importantly through these activities I made many good friends and developed my leadership techniques.

This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg and the activities open to you are limited only by your imagination!

Yours in Scouting
