Guides and Scouts of Europe- Ireland is part of U.I.G.S.E- F.S.E (Federation of European Scouting) and was established in the year 2018 under the leadership of Dr. Bénédicte Fuller. With the assistance of Adrian Fernandes, the organisation began its activities with 3 scouts and 8 wolfcubs. In 2019 Guides and Scouts of Europe, Ireland became an observer member of U.I.G.S.E- F.S.E and a candidate member in 2022. Since then Guides and Scouts of Europe- Ireland has grown significantly with over 80 active members and volunteers.
We apply the pedagogy of U.I.G.S.E- F.S.E. and contribute to youth’s religious, moral, civic and physical education by using the scout method, according to Lord Baden Powell’s spirit, with a Christian dimension.
With the 5 aims of scouting, we aim to build a physically solid man, with a strong character, devoted to serving his brothers and technically able. The supreme aim of scout education is the fifth aim: to meet Christ personally and, through Him, to reach the Heavenly Father.
- We want to be, besides school, complementary to the family, who are primarily responsible for their children.
- Educate man and woman in all their dimensions: body, spirit, soul.
- Give fundamental importance to religious education and spiritual life.
- Look after the personal education of each one, the formation of social man and future citizen.
- Encouraging the young boy/girl to take charge of his/her education in a context, appropriate to their needs and strengths.
