Set in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) at Royal Hospital Kilmainham, nearly 153 Scouts, Ventures and Rovers received their Chief Scout Awards on Saturday, 28th February.
The Award is the highest youth achievement in Scouting Ireland and represents years of dedication, leadership and service to local communities.
This year’s recipients include young people who have completed projects ranging from environmental initiatives and fundraising for local charities to mentoring younger Scouts and supporting community wellbeing projects.
Young people who earn the Chief Scout Award undertake challenges that test their resilience, teamwork, and ability to make a positive impact in the world around them. Each award reflects hundreds of hours of voluntary effort and personal growth.
Among those Scouts receiving awards, included Grace Golden from the 2nd/6th Limerick Scout Group. In support of her local community, Grace volunteered weekly at a local crèche for four months. She also joined young St Vincent de Paul and organised a fundraising event which raised €3,000 for the charity.
Nóinín Feeney, a Venture Scout from the same group also received her Chief Scout Award for completing a Red Cross First Aid Responder (FAR) course. Nóinín also volunteered on duty with the Red Cross providing first aid support at community and public events.
