Scouts appeal for volunteers

The Kilcullen Scout Troop is appealing for volunteers to help with their scouting activities for Kilcullen's young people, writes Brian Byrne. The 9th Kildare group offers exciting activities and learning experiences for Youth Members ages 6-18 and Adult Scouters ages 18+.

The troop is now in its 47th year. Apart from their scouting activities, members of the group give back to the community in many ways — for instance, they were at the forefront of the recent Kilcullen Cleanup Day organised by Kilcullen Community Action. They also host parties for Kilcullen's seniors, and have raised funds for many good causes, including Relay for Life Kildare.

In 2013, under the direction of then Venture scout Emma Birchall — a Cub of the Year in 2006 — they organised Kilcullen's first St Patrick's Day Parade.
