About Fellowship Scouting Ireland is a volunteer-led, staff-managed organization where adults participate, (for the many it’s their hobby), contributing their time and skills to support youth development and community engagement. Yes there is a role for those adults who move on from Active Leadership and want to remain part of Scouting Ireland and this is catered for by the Scouting Ireland Fellowship Patrol Project Team Scouting Ireland has a thoughtful approach to retaining experienced adults who want to stay involved after stepping back from active leadership and Fellowship Patrols provides opportunities for these individuals to stay involved and to contribute in new ways, utilising their expertise and experience. A Fellowship Patrol exists as an “ad hoc” framework to facilitate registered adults who wish to stay involved or become more in Scouting be they in active leadership or otherwise. It also provides a framework for the ethos of Scouting to continue in adult life for those who are unable to undertake leadership roles due to work, family commitments or advancing age. This approach is not only administratively sound — it is strategically astute. It brings coherence to our geography. Fellowship enables the opening of doors to meaningful partnerships. Crucially, it strengthens sustained and expert assistance.
