Below is some basic information if you are considering enrolling your child in Dalkey scouts and encourage you to consider getting involved if you are interested or if you have a particular skill set that might benefit the troop.
We operate within the guidelines of Scouting Ireland and have Beavers, Cubs, Sea Scouts, Ventures and Rovers sections. More information is available on Scouting Ireland’s website page for parents About Scouting Ireland
Places in the troop are contingent on the child/adult ratios child safety that we must comply with and we are in constant need of new leaders.
If you want yout child to join our scouting adventure without having to wait then we warmly welcome you to join our scout family at Dalkey 41st 3rd Port and train as a leader. Our information page will give you some detail Becoming a Leader (Scouter) . However we encourage you to find out more information by make contact through our contact page or make an application for membership. Our volunteer leader team would always appreciate the help!
As Parents, all suggestions or offers of help are welcomed by the Group Council and you can discuss any new ideas with your child’s Section Leader. Help is always needed for a range of events and other tasks including the maintenance of our boats and fundraising. Your expertise can be of help in many ways and any involvement is always appreciated by the group.
Registration: Each Youth Member must be registered annually in September. Members are only registered if the “Parental Consent and Medical Questionnaire” has been completed and the Annual Subscription is paid or part paid. Completion of the “Scouting Irelans Activities Consent form” is mandatory in advance of your child partaking in our activities. Other information in relation to SI Privacy Policy and GDPR is available on this website.
Summary Code of Conduct: Scouting Ireland has a set code of conduct, which can be found on on our page Code of Conduct. For your information I have summarised it in a few sentences below:
Scouting is enjoyed by a large number of members both in Ireland and around the world. Scouting is based on the fundamentals of friendship and brotherhood. Scouting should be enjoyed by all of the members in the group. If any member is found to be disrupting the enjoyment of scouting of any member of our group disciplinary action may be taken. Disruption may include, for example; bullying, unruly behaviour, breaches of safety instructions, malicious damage to personal or group property.
New Members: All applications (including siblings) for future membership need apply through our website using the form and giving full details.
Should you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours in Scouting,
Group Leader
