1St Dromore Newry Scout Group

Attending the Extraordinary General Meeting of Scouting Ireland 📝

On Thursday evening, our Scout Troop had great fun at our very own Meet and Code event 🤖 We got to programme our own game using Scratch, learn about microprocessors by programming Micro:bits and we experienced HTC VIVE Virtual Reality 💻 It was a lot to pack into 2 hours but Scouters, Martin and Raymond, did a great job and put a lot of prep into the whole event - huge thanks to them! 👏🏽 We also had a pleasant surprise with Scouter Michelle organising the donation of a fresh platter of fruit donated by Tesco Extra - big thanks to them 🍉🍍🍇

Over the summer months, our Scouts and Ventures did some excellent work picking litter and cleaning up the area from the centre of the town right the way out to the Green Bank roundabout 🚮 This great community work was rewarded recently with a Civic Pride Award from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council 📜 Chapeau to all! 👏🏽

Well done to our Ventures and Rovers who attended their respective Brian Boru County Forums on Monday evening 🗣️ Lots of good ideas and some great County events coming up this year 🧗🏾‍♂️ Congratulations also to the 9 Ventures and 5 Rovers who were elected as County reps 👏🏽 #ScoutsIE
