Local scouts enjoy outing in the mountains 

THE June Bank Holiday weekend saw Malahide Cub Scouts Tonnta pack take part in the mini Jamboree at the national campsite in Larch Hill in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains.

This year the theme was ‘Holidays on the Hill’ and over 20 Malahide Cub Scouts rose to the challenge. 

Setting up camp on Christmas Sub Camp, the cubs settled in for a weekend of fun and adventure among almost 1,000 other cubs from around the country.
While the Malahide group was on Christmas Sub Camp other cubs were spread out over Easter, Halloween and Summer Sub Camps.

Over the weekend the cubs participated in many activities with a holiday theme including building igloos, grass sledging, water activities, scouting skills and also enjoyed a monster campfire and disco.
