Happy Campers in IRD Duhallow
Irish Girl Guides Have a Wonderful Weekend at IRD
Members of the Irish Girl Guides from the Southwest Region spent four days camping in the James O’Keeffe grounds. Our camp was titled Camp Revive 2024, reviving campcraft skills, and our theme was based on SDGs and 14 and 15 – Life Below Water and Life on Land. There were one hundred and fifty members camping over the four days and included Brownies (7 – 10), Guides (10 – 14) Senior Branch members over 14 and adult Leaders, who came from Boherbue, Cork City, Carrigtwohill, Cobh, Macroom, Blarney, Dunmanway, Crosshaven, Bandon, Villierstown.
The many activities included in the camp were outdoor cooking, pioneering, learning knots for everyday use and to hoist the flag, a ramble to The Island Woods to study life under water with Tom Ankettell, painting vegetable markers, making scarecrows and planting for Rachel in the IRD garden, camp fires, mini-Olympics and most of all meeting members from all parts of the SW Region and making friends. Despite the many downpours that we experienced every so often, everyone took part wholeheartedly in the activities, no rain was going to stop us enjoying ourselves.
