Donadea day fun

The regular visitors to Donadea forest Park looked on in amazement at the activities of the Beavers and Cubs that were taking part in a backwoods activity day on Sunday last. They may have been wondering the meaning of the cryptic symbols made from sticks and stones left by teams of cubs and how easily the chasing teams deciphered and followed them during the track and trail activities or the purpose of the sleeping shelters constructed by the Beavers. But there was no confusion on the part of the Maynooth Beavers and Cubs, as they went about proving their knowledge of outdoor survival skills.
Both groups cooked their lunch outdoors, the beavers making hobo stew and baked potatoes over an open fire using only tinfoil, and the Cubs cooking chicken in specially constructed cardboard-box ovens. There was no doubt that these scouts knew their stuff!
The day ended with a joint investiture ceremony, where the new Beavers, Cubs and Leaders officially became members of the association and were presented with their green and sky-blue Maynooth neckerchiefs. All to the delight of the parents and families that came to watch. A great day was had by all.

Table quiz a great success - Thanks!

The table quiz held in Newtown Inn on friday last was a huge success, raising over 1,200 Euro for the Den fund. Extra tables had to be sourced from other parts of the bar as over 20 teams arrived to try to claim the 100Euro prize money. There was great craic had as people scrambled to complete challenges to win spot prizes, you wouldn't believe what people were willing to do to win an easter egg!
Our thanks to all who came to support the night, and to those that put in all the work in organising and promoting the event. This brings us one step closer to realising our goal of establishing a permanent home for scouting in Maynooth.

St. Patrick's Day Winners

The unusually fine weather encouraged a record number of people to come out to enjoy the spectacle of the annual Maynooth St. Patrick's day parade. They weren't dissappointed with a wonderfully entertaining selection of floats and costumes on display. Once again the Maynooth Scouts took part and to their delight their depiction of the adventurous activities they partake in on any given weekend took the prize for the best community float. Our thanks to everyone that took part!
Photos from the day will be added to our photo library (see link on the right) in the coming days.
