Boyle Scouts are asking any household that may have unwanted Scout Uniforms to please donate them back to us.
This will enable us to provide Uniform items to our youth members at a much lesser cost than purchasing new ones while also raising a few euros for Scouting in Boyle. Uniform items such as Neckerchiefs, Woggles, Beaver/Cub Jumpers, Scout shirts, Scout belts or any of the Scouting Ireland trousers will be gratefully accepted.
Items can be dropped into meetings in the Sports Complex at any time on Monday evenings 7.00 - 9.30pm, Tuesdays 7.00 - 9.45pm or Wednesdays 8.30 - 10.00pm. Alternatively you can contact any of the following: Beth 086 8569374, Stephanie 086 8419156 or Angela 086 3560389.

RTE Cameras to visit Boyle Scouts
A few Boyle Scouts pictured below getting their Camping Equipment prepared for Tuesday 4th October, when RTE visit us to make a short documentary on our Camping and Scouting activities.
Boyle Scouts will be be involved on Tuesday next, 4th October with an RTE Camera Crew in making a short documentary on Camping and Scouting Activities in and around the Boyle area. The documentary is being made for the National Lottery to showcase Scouting Ireland as an ongoing beneficiary of National Lottery Funding.
Filming will take place with our Scouts in a number of secret locations on Tuesday afternoon and evening!!!
The outdoor cooking and camping skills of our Scouts, and our excellent Campsite and facilities available at Lough Keel will all feature in front of the cameras.
We also intend to strongly promote the many great activities available in Lough Key and in the Boyle area for visiting Scouts, Guides and all Youth Groups.
Many people may not realise that the tourist attraction that is our Lough Keel Scout Campsite brought almost 3000 camping visitors to the Boyle area throughout 2011 with those visitors between them staying almost 6000 days and nights in the area.

Boyle Scouts Need Your Help
Boyle Scouts is a vibrant youth organisation catering for the youth of Boyle town and surrounding areas. Currently we have 168 Youth Members and 39 Adult Members across 7 Sections, 2 Beaver, 2 Cub, a Scout, Venture and a Rover section.
We have been looking the last few years at the possibility of building an extension to our Scout Den. We hope to link up our Den with the existing Garage and also to provide our own toilets so that the Den can be used at any time for meetings, training or even have visiting Groups stay overnight.
We hope to carry out these works over the summer months in order to have the Den available to us again in September.
We have some money set aside (€14,000) and hope to borrow the rest (€25,000) from Boyle Credit Union.
In order to help repay this loan, we are looking at setting up a Monthly Draw to run for the next few years until the loan is cleared.
The proposed Draw would run as follows:
Members sign up to a Standing Order of €10 per month or an Annual Payment of €120.
Proposed Monthly prizes would be: 1st Prize: €200, 2nd Prize: €100, 3rd Prize: €50, 4th Prize: €50
If you would like to join this fundraising Draw, or to give a one-off donation towards our Building Fund, however large or small, we would greatly appreciate all financial help.
Cheques, Standing Order Payments or Electronic Transfer Contributions can be made payable to the following Account:
Boyle Scouts Building Fund: Account Number: 42367249
Bank of Ireland, Boyle Sort Code: 90-53-28
IBAN Number: IE07 BOFI 9053 2842 3672 49
So far we have had an excellent response from Parents and Boyle Businesses, and would like to thank them all for the support they are showing us.
Further information may be got by contacting Padraig on 086 2603403 or Trevor on 086 8360222
