Today

Following the merger in 2004 of Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (CSI), to form Scouting Ireland, a lengthy programme review process commenced to review every aspect of youth programme delivered by Scouting Ireland. As a result of this process, it was decided that youth members should experience one youth programme from age 6 to age 21. As a result, Sea Scout Groups will now deliver a Sea Scout programme to all their youth members, in all age ranges.
