Where young people become remarkable.
Founded in 1973, we are a highly active Scout group based in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, with five youth sections from Beavers to Rovers, plus a very active Water Section that supports all sections.
Over 50 years of scouting in Dunboyne
1st Meath Dunboyne Scout Group was founded in 1973 and remains a highly active group to this day. We comprise two Beaver colonies, three Cub packs, two Scout troops, a Venture unit and a Rovers section, plus a very active Water Section that serves the entire group.
We are part of Scouting Ireland, and our programme aims to encourage the physical, intellectual, character, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so they may achieve their full potential.
