Through youth-led programmes, Scouting delivers a range of opportunities for young people to develop their skills, talents and leadership potential through outdoor adventure and by working with their "patrols", "crews" and "sixes". Our programme is bigger than just camping, hiking, knots and fires: the scouting method is a system of progressive self-education, which aims to nurture the mental, physical and holistic growth and development of young people of all ages. Scouting in Chapelizod was established in 1978. Our troop colours are green and purple.
