There was a very high standard of competition this year. Probably the highest in years. But the two Ardlea teams still managed to finish fifth and seventh out of thirteen teams.

Well done guys, you did a great job.

Looking forward to it!!  

Ardlea scouts attended the County pioneering weekend in Lough Dan last weekend.

The scouts who went had a great time and also learned a few things!

On the 22nd of February we held a special investiture in honour of Ardlea's 30th Birthday. There was even a birthday cake!

A big well done to Paul for organising the day. It was a great success.

The Celebration in honour of Ardlea's 30th Birthday was held on the 21st of February and was a great night.

Well done to everyone who helped out with the preparations, especially those who worked so hard to get all of the spot prizes for the raffle.

But a very special well done to Sinead who put a lot of work into ensuring that the night was the big success that it was.

On the 21st of February Ardlea will be 30 years old. To mark the occasion we are throwing Ardlea a birthday party. There will be music, food and a raffle and tickets are €25 each. For more information, or for tickets, you can email us at group@160thardlea.com.

Congratulations to the scouts on coming first in the County Scout Quiz again this year.

Although I think the weekend we had last year for the National Challenge Day was a big incentive!!

Well done guys!
