Scouting

Scouting Ireland is one of the largest national youth organisations in Ireland, dedicated to the development of life skills for young people. Since 1908, young people in Ireland have been involved in the Scouting movement.

Scouting aims to nurture the personal development and non-formal education of young people through the Scout Method, which is an approach unique to Scouting throughout the world.

More About Us

Scouting enables young people to build the skills they need to maximise life’s opportunities. Scouting Ireland welcomes all members and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination on any grounds including, but not limited to, gender, sexuality, race, religion or belief, social class, health, age or disability.

The SPICES are learning objectives, or areas of personal development explored through scouting programmes. The acronym was created during the development of the ONE Programme scheme by Scouting Ireland.
