of Scouting Ireland. Scouting Ireland is a multi-denominational, co-educational,
youth based association across the entire island of Ireland. We have our own scout

young people between the ages of 6 and 21. We have a long history in the community
of Blackrock. Between our different age groups we teach scouting skills such as
pioneering, hiking, rock climbing, backwoods survival training, canoeing,
first aid and other really useful skills.
