Adventure skills
Scouting isn’t about sitting still. You’ll try real skills in a safe, supportive group, and often surprise yourself with what you can do.
- Maps & navigation: Read a map, use a compass, plan a route and find your way on hikes around Dublin and beyond.
- Camping & outdoors: Tents, sleeping bags, camp cooking and looking after yourself (and your patrol) under the stars.
- Teamwork & leadership: Games, challenges and patrol systems that build confidence, communication and responsibility.
- Cooking & campcraft: From simple snacks to full camp meals. Hygiene, safety and tasty results.
- First aid & safety: Basics that help you stay calm and useful if someone needs help on an outing.
- Nature & environment: Respect for wildlife, Leave No Trace, and our green initiatives.
Badges, camps and section programmes bring it all together. see the sections or apply to join.
