Beavers
First taste of scouting. Beavers make friends, play games, do crafts and try simple cooking and outdoor activities. You work in a Lodge, earn badges and get ready for bigger adventures ahead.

About each section
Cubs
Time to explore. Cubs go on trips, learn camp cooking, knots and map skills, and take part in team challenges. You earn badges, go on sleepovers and build the confidence to move up to Scouts.
Scouts
Real adventure. Scouts camp out, hike the Dublin Mountains, do night walks and run their own patrols. You learn leadership, first aid and bushcraft, and go on camps you help plan.
Ventures (BVG)
Ballinteer Venture Group puts you in the driver's seat. Each week, two or three Ventures plan and run the meetings themselves, building teamwork and leadership as the planning team rotates. Recent trips have included a camp in Luxembourg, Camp Aurora, and a night hike. Upcoming: Group Camp and a trip to Wales.
Rovers
Young adults who keep the adventure going. Rovers run their own programme of expeditions, socials and service, and often support younger sections. Get in touch to find out more.
