Wicklow Way (Laragh to Glenmalure)

Easter Camp

 If it's Easter, it must be Powerscourt. 37 Scouts took part in this year's camp and, in spite of the cold Northerly wind, huge hailstones, thunder and other adverse weather, everybody professed to having had a good time. The camp marked a number of significant firsts - the first camp as leaders for our newly appointed PLs and APLs and the first camp with the Troop for nearly a quarter of those attending. Well done to all and a big thank you to Evelyn, Isobel, Katie, Sarah and Laura for their assistance on site over the course of ther weekend.

New Watch Leaders

 Evelyn, Katie, Isobel, Sarah and Laura - all of whom have been with the Valkyrie Troop from the very start - are moving on and, along with some of the Wednesday Troop, are setting up a Venture Scout section in 5th Port.

We wish them every success with the exciting projects they are planning in the Venture Section and thank them for their considerable input into the Troop, for their unfailing enthusiam and infectious good humour, all of which are key elements in creating and maintaining a successful Troop.

Nature abhors a vacuum, so new Watch Leaders have been appointed. Congratulations to Georgia O'Shea, Audrey Wilson, Aine Ni Sheaghdha, Emma Guiney and Niamh Devitt. Congratulations also to the new Assistant Watch Leaders - Niamh Buckley, Orla Kelly, Gwen Connolly, Sarah Fagan and Emma Strutt.
