Brief discussion of our units!
HQ Dartry
Unit was formed in 1926.
The reason why it is the only unit in CSI that has
no number is due to the fact that
it is the oldest. It was founded before CSI
was formed and at that time two
units claimed to be first Dublin and so Dartry
was given the title HQ and 1st
Dublin was given to a unit which is now in Fairview.
HQ are also credited with having
the first Irish scouting site on the web and in
this site there is quite an extensive
history of the unit given and is well worth
a read, there is a link for the
site in the links page.
Donnybrook Scout Unit, 3/40/41
Dublin
Unit was formed in 1927
It was given 3 charters i.e. 3rd/40th/41st
as throughout its history it had
3 Scout Sections and charters used
to be allocated to Scout Sections and
not Units as is currently the case.
The Units neckerchief is all red
( same as the Chief Scout ) and like all
Units one that we are very proud
of.
The Unit is based in the Scout
Hall in Brookvale Road, Donnybrook in a
premises that we own outright and
are constantly developing.
We are currently a very large Unit
with 2 Beaver Colonies, 2 Cub Packs, 2
Scout Troops, a Venturer Group
and a Rovers Crew totalling over 220 active
members. We have an active
and dedicated team of over 30 leaders and are
always open to new leaders getting
involved ( no experience necessary,
we'll provide the training )
All the Sections are mixed i.e.
male and female members and have been so
for over 10 years.
We also operate a unit web site
which you should visit for further
information, there is a link for
this web site in the links page.
63rd Dundrum
Unit Leader:- Alan Nugent
Dundrum was set up in 1970 and
so is 29 years running. It was set up by
Michael Hasset. They started
holding meetings in the basement of the Holy
Cross church which is in main St.
Dundrum.
National H.Q. gave them the name
63rd Dublin Holy Cross unit. Dundrum now
hold their meetings in their own
den situated in the Dundrum Family
Recreation Centre (D.F.R.C).
Their hall is certainly one to
be proud of as it is large and great for
games. The smaller inner
room is warmer and suitable for the administrative
and traditional part of the meeting.
Their is now 1 beaver colony, 2
cub packs, 2 scout troops and 1 venture
scout troop.
