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.

Lough Gara Riding Stables, Sunday 13th February
On Sunday last, our Monday Cubs alongside our Tuesday Beavers and Cubs had a great day in Lough Gara Riding Stables. They spent the day not only just Horse Riding but also enjoying some Archery, Shooting, Falconry and the newly built Assault Course. Many thanks to Jimmy, Adrien and their staff for looking after everyone so well. Also to Ronan and Daniel Cox for making sure nobody went hungry. A few photos from the day are below.

Tus Maith, County Hike 13th February 2011 (formerly Peak 2000)
Below are a few pics taken on the Tus Maith event on Sunday 13th Febraury. A great turnout, in excess of 250 from around Lough Keel Scout County were in attendance on what was a very well organised event. The weather held good and everyone from Beaver to Leader had an enjoyable day. Much thanks and appreciation to the Carrick Leaders who organised and ran the event and to "Chef Martin" (Longford Leader) who had food and refreshments flowing in abundance for all the hikers as they returned to base.
