NEWMARKET-ON-FERGUS scouts have regrouped for the forth- coming season, after a well-deserved break over the summer.
An exciting range of outdoor pro- grammes has been organised for the next few months.
Dozens of young beavers, cubs, scouts and venturers will meet weekly over the coming weeks and
those who organise the meetings are encouraging all young people in the area to join.
The cubs, scouts and venturers have already commenced their meetings, at the local community centre.
The cubs – aged eight to ten-and-a- half – meet every Monday, between 6pm and 7pm. The scouts – aged between ten-and-a-half to 15, get to- gether every Friday evening between 6.30pm and 8pm, while the venturers
– aged 16 to 18 – meet on Tuesdays, from 6pm to 7pm.
The beavers, aged between seven and eight, will hold their first meet- ing on September 30, between 6pm and 7pm.
As usual with all scouting pro- grammes, the emphasis will be on outdoors events.
The beavers will have regular days out, a Halloween party and a slumber yep hca ale
Cubs will have an overnight activ- ity each month while the scouts will have a jamboree.
The venturers will also have a number of exciting days out planned in the coming months, having ran a hugely successful surfing programme during the summer.
The club is advising parents of all scouts that the insurance for the year is €40 and should be paid by De- cember.
