Beaver Scouts invested

The 9th Kildare Kilcullen Scouts welcomed their latest batch of recruits when we invested 17 Beaver Scouts in the Town Hall on 23 November 2014, writes Aidan Murphy.

We also invested four new adult Scouters into the group. The investiture was a very simple ceremony where the boys and girls took their promise to live by the Scout law and help their community, followed by a little party and a cup of tea for the proud families of the Beavers.

Barbara and Sharon explained that many of the newly invested members had already got brothers and sisters in the group and indeed that the group had a great family atmosphere. We truly hope that this is the start of a great adventure for the boys and girls.

A big thank you to the parents of the Beavers for turning out such smartly dressed boys and girls and also the Scouters who attended offering their support. A special welcome to Aidan, Gabby, Caitriona and Rani who have already given so much of their time to the Beaver Colony.
