Around Portarlington Way
PORTARLINGTON 4TH LAOIS SCOUTS
Dear all, it’s with regret we have decided to suspend beavers/ scouts/cubs for the foreseea-ble future, or at least until workable guidelines are produced by scouting Ireland.
It’s not a course of action we wanted to take, however with everyone’s wellbeing in mind we feel a socially distant scout/cub meeting indoors would be almost impossible
Also, as some of our leaders work in health care, and some have underlying health condi-tions any exposure could prove to be an issue outside of scouts.
So, we thank you for your patience and we hope we can return to scouts next year bigger and better.
