This notice of motion is to bring our Constitution in line with how we present, deliver, and train members of Scouting Ireland in relation to our aim.

That this Annual General Meeting of Scouting Ireland CLG resolves to change the name of the company to Scouting Ireland Services CLG
Carried
(National Management Committee) Proposer’s Explanation Scouting Ireland currently operates through an Association and a Company Limited by Guarantee. An Association is an unincorporated entity, similar to a Scout Group. Companies which are limited by guarantee and do not have a share capital are deemed to be Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLG), and this designation is required under the new Companies Act. These types of companies limit the liability of their members. In the case of Scouting Ireland CLG the liability of each member in the event of the Company winding up is limited to €1.00. Scouting Ireland will continue to operate as both an Association and a Company Limited by Guarantee during the “transition phase” of the Governance project. The relationship between both will be through a Service Level Agreement (SLA), with Scouting Ireland CLG providing services to the Association, as required. Page 2 of 13
