Well Done to the few Children from Monday and Wednesday Nights Cubs Pack  who walked from Robertsown to Sallins along the Grand Canal

We stared our hike-walk at 2pm in Robertstown and made our way along the banks of the Grand to Sallins

the distance was 11KM or (7.25MILES) PASTING the old Blackwater Feeder Healys Bridge Cock Bridge Landenstown Bridge

and Digby Bridge where Dermot O’Farrell was on hand with the makes of soup were teh Cubs cooked their own and they also

made some for the leaders. then on to Leinster Aqueduck Soliders Island finishing at Sallins at 6pm

everone had a great time its a pity there was a bad turn out from most of the Cubs but the few who did come enjoyed the trip

well done to you all. We hope to have our Pictures of the Hike up by the week-end

On Monday the 21st December 2009 Monday and Wendesday Night Cub sections Joined together to hold their Christmas parthy about 50 Cubs came to enjoy their night of music, fun and games they had sweets, cake and lots more every child had a great time

we are looking forward to see them all back next Wednesday the 20th of December we are late opening because of the bad weather we are sorry about this.

Hello everyone,and welcome to summer, and a busy one it is going to be. Be fore we get to that let me, on behalf of everyone in Scouting thank everyone for your very generous support at our sale of work and Church Gate collection. As per usual Clane showed its appreciation for Scouting. A big Thank you to John and Mary Daly of Loughanure for their very generous donation to us.

Our Cub pack had a great day our with other Cub Scouts from the area in Donadea forest on Saturday the 24th of April. The event was organised by Gemma and her other helpers. The maps of Donadea forest was a great boost ans helped the Children see the vast expanse of Donadea and its great amenities.

 we came back to the Den in the late afternoon for clean-up and garden planting. At 7.00pm we had a BBQ and investiture of 4 new cubs: Michael, Thomas, Tara and Ciara, by the camp fire. The weather was very good to us, with the Children playing untill nearly 10.00pm. They came in then to get ready for the sleep over. Greg warned them all to make sure they are alseep before him; otherwise no one would sleep. He wasn’t joking his snore was nearly as bad as mine,.
